Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed two contemporary ditches in the western field (Field 1). Together these ditches may represent a boundary of a former small field system. Although undated, these may represent continuation of the Iron Age activity recorded at Stonald Field excavations in the adjacent eastern field during 2008. Despite 100% excavation and investigation in a second parallel trench, no dating evidence was retrieved. A ditch terminus was also recorded in this field which contained burnt stones, again, despite excavation, no dating evidence was recovered. Three postholes and two shallow quarry pits were investigated within Field 2 in the north-eastern corner of the site. Both of these feature groups contained postmedieval finds including clay pipe, pottery and glass. No evidence of the continuation of the Iron Age or Bronze Age activity recorded at Stonald Field to the immediate east was identified during this evaluation. Targeted trenches were investigated with an aim to pick up the continuation of the Iron Age enclosure investigated in 2008, however it was not found to be present. The lack of sub soil and the partial survival of furrows across the site would suggest that there has been some wholesale truncation across the site. Although it is uncertain as to when this occurred, it seems most likely that it may have been associated with the use of the site as a nursery during the mid-late 20th century. It is likely that some features may have been lost through truncation, however the lack of finds recovered during machining and from top and subsoil sampling indicate that the site had never been intensely occupied.
