Abstract:		 The area of the treatment plant (WSM 31742) and the pipeline (WSM 31743-31745) passed through areas of varying archaeological interest with finds and evidence of land use dating from the medieval to the modern periods. A metal detecting survey was conducted in addition to the standard fieldwork. The discovery of a medieval furrow cut by a ditch from the 18th century gave insights in to the pattern of land usage from the medieval through to the post-medieval periods. An area of arable farmland had become pastural around the same time as squatter settlements appeared in the village in the 17-18th centuries. This picture of a change in agriculture was supported by environmental evidence. Such a change in land usage could have been a consequence of changing farming practices under these new settlers. However, it is also feasible that the ridge and furrow system in this part of the village had already fallen out of use prior to the arrival of the squatters. A couple of undatable features in the area now holding the treatment plant, a thin ditch and rubble wall base, could have been either post-medieval or modern and could have represented farming activity continuing after the roadside squatter settlements had long disappeared. The construction of the airfield during the Second World War could account for their disuse.
