Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation involving eight trial trenches was undertaken. Evidence of extensive Roman activity from the 1st to 4th century was recorded across the site. The archaeological remains included evidence of a north-south road, associated ditches and possible roadside structures. One additional possible beam slot was revealed. A series of rubbish pits and a possible quarry pit were revealed at the southern and western parts of the site. The evaluation also revealed an almost intact large amphora set into a pit and covered by a second storage jar or amphora. A large quantity of egg shell and chicken bone was recovered from the amphora. Metalled surfaces and gullies were recorded close to the amphora. A single hearth with metalworking slag was also uncovered. [Au(abr)]
