Abstract:		 A gradiometer survey revealed probable Iron Age and Romano-British settlement complex in field 4, more extensive than first thought, covering an area of c. 8ha in total. Test pits, excavated in field 3, examined a concentration of mainly prehistoric struck flint, some handmade and Romano-British pottery. In field 4, a trench was placed over a geophysical anomaly, revealing ditches and gullies with associated Iron Age and Romano-British pottery. Trenches away from the anomalies, revealed only the bases of medieval plough-furrows, thus confirming the gradiometer survey had identified the full extent of the settlement complex. Trial excavation in the valley of Rearsby Brook examined the alluvial deposits, but no organic deposits of palaeoenvironmental significance were found. No archaeological features were identified on land adjacent to Spinney Farm. [Au(abr)]
