Abstract:		 The works comprised the excavation of seventy-six test trenches.. The evaluation exercise was subdivided into three distinct phases based on both the development program and the geography of the site. The first of these was the Detailed Application Area (DAA) trenches followed by the Southern Development Zone (SDZ) trenches and lastly the Hill and Gateway Development Zone (HGDZ) trenches. Archaeological results were observed predominantly towards the upper areas of the site and cut into the drift geology. Features included two deep cut (and not fully bottomed) pits containing prehistoric and Saxon pottery and an undated linear feature in the DAA trenches. Away from the areas not lost to truncation and landscaping associated with the hospitals' demolition, the SDZ trenches recorded two very large pit or ditch features containing prehistoric pottery and lithic finds as well as pit cuts containing prehistoric, Roman and Saxon material. These suggest prehistoric occupation at the top of the hill that continued into the Romano-British phase and the early Saxon period as seen by further cut features, perhaps relating to structures as part of a farmstead-type settlement. Saxon occupation was represented by pottery finds as well daub and a loomweight. Early medieval occupation towards the southwest of the area suggests further reuse of the hilltop for settlement. On the downhill slopes, a small amount of peg tile potentially relates a late medieval or early post-medieval settlement. The HGDZ trenches were mostly lacking in archaeological results, this being most-likely explained by the steep gradient of the site on which they were located. A series of machine excavated linear cuts are thought to relate to pig sty structures.
