Abstract:		 The earliest archaeological feature recorded was a tree throw containing an Early Neolithic struck flint assemblage. Early Bronze Age activity was confined to the north-western corner of the site. Middle Bronze Age features were identified in the form of a north-east to south-west aligned field system, with smaller perpendicular internal divisions. Two large waterholes were also identified. One of the most notable elements of the excavation were four different Bronze Age post alignments, with just over 400 postholes being identified. Each alignment consisted of between one and three parallel rows of posts. The function of these alignments is open to interpretation: it is probable that they had a more monumental association than simple land division. One of the post alignments was superseded by a pit alignment. A north-south aligned ditch ran parallel with one of the post alignments but was not aligned to the Middle Bronze Age field system. An Early Iron Age cobbled trackway was aligned on this ditch and appeared to respect the most extensive of the post alignments. Other Early Iron Age activity comprised a series of pit groups containing small assemblages of pottery and animal bone. A north-northeast to south-southwest aligned Early Roman cultivation system was present across the westernmost part of the site. Evidence for the post-medieval period consisted of a boundary ditch and associated smaller sub-divisions. A number of possible furrows were also identified. At the east end of site was a post-medieval enclosure containing a number of north-south and east-west aligned ditches.
