Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Planning permission has been granted for housing development comprising 8 single storey units at Land to the Rear of Hall Farm, Mere Road, Waltham on the Wolds. An initial evaluation highlighted early Roman archaeology in the form of pits and gullies, which appeared prominent to the eastern and southern edges of the site. In accordance with National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) a strip, map and sample excavation was initiated focussed on these areas. The archaeology was found to be prominent in the Late Iron Age to early Roman period with part of a large enclosure and ring gully protruding from the eastern edge of site. Industrial waste in the form of fuel ash, hearth lining and heated limestone blocks were found within these features and the pits surrounding them. Accompanying the industrial activity, the pits revealed evidence of farming and several shallow parallel gullies projecting from the large enclosure may represent part of a contemporary field system. The evidence indicates that the site is on the fringes of a small rural settlement or famstead, which is mostly situated beneath Mere road and the field to the east.
