Abstract:		 Albion Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation in support of a planning application for a residential housing development at 'Land off Station Road', formerly known as 'Land off Flexmore Way', Langford. Initially a geophysical survey was undertaken, revealing a series of linear anomalies interpreted as archaeological features. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken in late May 2015. The trenches targeted a series of roughly perpendicular geophysical anomalies. In summary, the archaeological works revealed evidence for the post-medieval to modern land divisions of the area. The remains of earlier boundaries, dating to the early-middle Iron Age, were also revealed. The latter included both an enclosure ditch and linear land boundaries, which appeared to have been remodelled on at least one occasion. It is possible that two small, undated postholes were also associated with this activity. Finds comprising generally small quantities of pottery and animal bone were recovered from the southern part of the site, possible indicating a focus of activity in that area. These remains may represent the continuation of an extensive early Iron Age enclosure system identified on the opposite side of Station Road. No trace of any activity associated with the medieval hamlet of Flexmore End was identified.
