Abstract:		 Trial trench evaluation comprising 48 trenches for a proposed residential development. Medieval or earlier activity consisting of a ditch and a stone-filled linear feature were encountered within the eastern part of the site. The ditch was initially identified within the central portion of Trench 21 and was further exposed within an expansion of the trench immediately to the east and the west. The ditch probably represents a drainage feature forming part of a more extensive field boundary associated with agricultural use of the land. The stone-filled linear feature was initially recorded in the central portion of Trench 6 with this trench being expanded to the north and south to expose its full extent and to establish the presence or absence of any associated features or deposits. To this end the full extent of the feature was established and no further features were identified. The fill of this feature contained large quantities of charred and cracked stone indicating that these had been subjected to high temperatures. It is likely that this material represents backfilling of the linear feature with burnt material probably derived from some form of industrial activity within the near vicinity. The function of the linear feature was undetermined.
