Abstract:		 Prehistoric occupation within the site is uncertain, with no EHER records from these periods within 0.7km of the site. Nonetheless survey work and aerial photographic evidence indicates that prehistoric field systems and some burial mounds previously existed in other locations nearby, implying the possibility of some survival her also. In the Roman period there may have been a road running along part of the northern boundary of the site to a fort and settlement located c.2km to the west, but it is uncertain if there was any occupation within the site itself. This roadway, in the Middle and/or Late Saxon periods, linked Walden to Sewards End more than 1km to the east. It is likely in this period there was also a settlement c.200m to the south of the site called Le Uppeshire (now called Shire Hill Farm). The site, being close to the latter settlement, was likely to have been within its field system. The c.1758 map of Pounce Hall Farm shows that Shire Hill Farm was part of its land holdings (recorded as being owned by the de Mandevilles in Domesday Book some 700 years earlier, and with a documented history of ownership thereafter). By the time that the 1758 map was created the proposal site was still at this time subdivided into strips forming part of the open field arable associated with this manor, the strips being farmed by the individual tenants.
