Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over four non-consecutive days between the 11th March and the 17th March 2014. The evaluation involved the excavation of 12 trenches, four of which were located within the area of the proposed hotel and housing development in order to investigate known earthworks, with a further five trenches located at the northeast end of the proposed test-track in order to target several geophysical anomalies. Three further trenches were located at the southwest end of the proposed test-track, adjacent to the proposed line of the Roman Road. Eleven of the twelve trenches were devoid of any archaeological features or deposits, largely exposing the natural substrate below subsoil and topsoil. A single trench (Trench 1), which was located adjacent to the western boundary of the site within the immediate vicinity of a known earthwork, revealed a substantial deposit of clay/cobbles and large boulders. However, this is likely to represent an episode of infilling following the expansion of the of the estate boundary to the west sometime during the mid-19th century. Furthermore, it appeared that the undated earthwork within this area overlay these infill deposits, suggesting that it post-dates the mid-19th century. No remains associated with the earthwork within the northwest corner of the development site were revealed during the evaluation and the negative results obtained from trenches located along the southern boundary of the site, suggest that any remains associated with the Roman Road are likely to be situated to the south of the proposed development site.
