Abstract:		 An area of 1.1 hectares was evaluated by trial trenching as a condition of planning permission to develop the site. Ten trenches were excavated, within which several ditches of likely Iron Age or Roman date were observed. There were few clear indications of relationships between these ditches which might point towards one or more field systems, although this may be due in part to the limited trenching. However, environmental sampling of two probable Iron Age ditches revealed the presence of ferrous spheroids in the fill, suggesting smithing in the vicinity of the site and that these features could have been contemporary. In Trench 8, four post holes were excavated and a layer rich in Roman pottery and building material was recorded, whilst in Trench 10, a large pit contained fired clay derived from a daub structure, and Roman pottery. Evidence from these two trenches strongly suggests Roman occupation.
