Abstract:		 Excavation over a 6.2ha area took place intermittently over 2012-14 in advance of gravel extraction. Fragmentary palaeochannels were uncovered with some cut by earlier prehistoric and later features. More than a dozen undated springs were also uncovered. Up to seven pits contained pottery which dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. A diminution in the occurrence of early prehistoric activity from the ceremonial landscape located on higher ground to the north and south. Boundary ditches from an Iron Age settlement recorded in 2007/8 to the north continued into the present site including a large sub-rectangular enclosure as well as a possible droveway from the east. The burial of an undated human male, with his head removed and peri-mortem injury to his ribs, was found in the field system. Eighty-nine pits and 18 scattered postholes were undated. Few charred plant remains were recovered which, together with evidence for some henbane and nettles from a sample, may suggest this was mostly a pastoral landscape.
