Abstract:		 Comprising twenty-four trenches c. 30m x 2.1m, the evaluation investigated a number of geophysical anomalies and apparently archaeologically 'blank' areas across the Site. Particular attention was paid to the area around the remains of two probable Bronze Age ring-ditches, detected close to the northern boundary. A number of archaeological features were encountered during the evaluation, representing human activity through prehistory, the Romano-British or Anglo-Saxon periods, and during the early 20th century. A few probable tree-throw holes were identified during the watching brief. Two probable Neolithic pits, each containing worked and burnt flint, animal bone (including red deer antler in one) and **organic material** were recorded towards the centre of the Site. Tree-throw holes were seen in some numbers across the Site, though less frequently to the east. These probably represent land clearance - an activity typical in, though not exclusive to, prehistory. A large pit towards the centre-north of the Site contained a small quantity of residual worked flint. At least 17, possibly 19, subrectangular graves (aligned east-west, and seemingly arranged in three, maybe four, rows) were revealed approximately 70m to the south-west of the two ring-ditches. The evidence suggests the presence of a flat grave cemetery, potentially of considerable size. The layout and the small copper alloy leather fitting found on top of one grave suggest a Romano-British or Anglo-Saxon date. It is not unusual to find such cemeteries in association with prehistoric monuments. The large subrectangular pit found towards the north of the Site was probably associated with wartime military practice trenching.
