Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a rail freight terminal, which lay immediately east of an Iron Age settlement site and close to the line of Roman Watling Street. Burials thought to be of Saxon date had been found within the surface of the Roman road, and medieval ridge and furrow survived over part of the proposal site. During the evaluation, a fieldwalking survey was undertaken. Artefacts observed included fragments of burnt and worked flint, and pottery of Iron Age, Romano-British, medieval and post-medieval date. A magnetometer survey and a magnetic susceptibility survey identified clusters of hut circles, larger enclosures, pits, a linear feature and an area of rectilinear features. Subsequent trial trenching located all of the features indicated by the geophysical surveys, and recorded evidence of several phases of Iron Age occupation, which included episodes of flooding. Features such as post holes and gullies, associated with the hut circles and enclosures, provided evidence for structures. The rectilinear features previously identified were found to be ditches, some of which contained Romano-British pottery. These may have been part of a Romano-British field system. Evidence of ridge and furrow ploughing was also observed. [AIP]
