Abstract:		 The site was located mainly on rising ground to the north of the River Gipping floodplain, in an area of glacial till. Prehistoric features ranged in date from the Middle Neolithic to the Late Iron Age. Generally the earlier periods were represented by fairly scattered, small pits of uncertain function. Some probable timber structures represented by two rows of postholes might have been contemporary with a nearby Middle Neolithic pit. During the Middle to Late Iron Age occupation might have intensified, as suggested by a dense area of intercutting pits at the north end of the site. Substantial ditches in the central part of the site possibly represented parts of rectilinear Iron Age enclosures. There was little evidence for continuity of occupation into the Roman period, other than one small pit and some residual pottery in later deposits. Medieval occupation was represented principally by a concentration of pits and ditches/gullies in the centre of the site, with another group of features on the lower slopes of a dry valley to the southwest. Significant amounts of (mostly) 12th- to 13th-century pottery were found in association with food waste and other domestic refuse suggesting the presence of an isolated farm or more extensive settlement. During the First World War a cordite works was built in the dry valley. Several linear cuttings for sunken tracks were found, as well as more extensive cuttings representing large-scale terracing into the valley slopes.
