Abstract:		 The evaluation yielded limited results although recent site activity in the form of ground reduction, farm building construction and subsequent demolition in the mid 20th and early 21st centuries was well represented. The limited finds assemblage tentatively suggests more broader prehistoric activity which is backed up by know sites in the wider area recorded in the SHER. A post-medieval gunflint core also shows some limited activity predating the extensive modern disturbance noted across the centre and east of the site. No finds or features associated with the Church Yard or gravel quarrying were identified. The geoarchaeological investigation was more successful. The surface of the bedrock Chalk appears to form two erosional benches separated by a relatively steep bluff. The upper chalk bench was recorded beneath the summit of the hill. The lower chalk bench was recorded beneath the western flank of the hill. The western flank of the hill appears therefore to conceal a steep bedrock bluff about 3.0m in height. In the deposits overlying the Chalk, three sediment types can be recognised: Gravely sand, flint gravel and chalk gravel. The following sequence is postulated: 1. Fluvial erosion forming a higher bench. 2. Fluvial deposition mainly of gravelly sand on the higher bench. 3. Fluvial downcutting and lateral erosion forming a lower bench. 4. Deposition of flint gravel on the lower bench 5. Colluvial deposition of gravelly sand from the higher bench burying the flint gravel on the lower bench. 6. Fluvial reworking of deposits on the lower bench and introduction of chalky gravel.
