Abstract:		 The evaluation uncovered a dense concentration of ditches, pits and postholes within the south-eastern corner of the site, an area where cropmarks had previously been recorded. These features were subject to limited investigation, as early decision was taken by the developer to remove this area of the site from the construction impacts. High quantities of pottery and animal bone indicated that the site was primarily domestic in nature, although there was also limited evidence for animal husbandry and an isolated human burial was recorded. Dating evidence recovered from the site suggested that it was occupied from the later Iron Age into the earlier Roman era, with activity intensifying in the first century AD. the site appears to have been abandoned after the second century AD. The Archaeological features at the site were almost entirely enclosed by an open, water-filled boundary/drainage ditch marked as a County Constituency Boundary on modern mapping. Cropmarks continue the line of the ditch to the north-eat, outside of the site boundary. The apparent relationship between this ditch and the Iron Age/Roman features may suggest that the ditch has ancient antecedents - perhaps a natural watercourse which was later exploited as a drain.
