Abstract:		 In SPE1 was found a Middle Bronze Age settlement enclosure defined by a ditch with an entrance to the south west. In in interior were groups of shallow pits and postholes, which may have been the location of houses or other structures, although they formed no clear pattern. Finds of Trevisker-related pottery and charred plant remains came for the ditch and the interior features, but there were few other finds and animal bones had not survived. In SPE2 was found a late Iron Age enclosed ridge-top settlement with evidence for several roundhouses. In the Roman period the settlement developed in to villa complex with three distinctive stone-founded building - a bath house (Building A) a barn-like structure (Building B) and a villa residence (Building C). Building A showed several episodes of construction including a hypocaust that was later filled in. The gallery of Building C was the site of four infant burials. On the whole the site was poorly preserved because of extensive post-medieval quarrying as well as ploughing. Pottery, ceramic building material and animal bones were plentiful, although metalwork and exotic finds were quite rare and the settlement does not seem to have been a grand one in comparison with other villas. In SPE3 was found a hollow way that had filled in during the medieval period and was subsequently used as a boundary.
