Abstract:
The evaluation has established that there is a very good correlation between recorded geophysical anomalies and aerial photographic evidence from earlier investigations of the site. Although a very small finds assemblage was recovered from the current work, and of that, very little was derived from stratified contexts, the morphology of the geophysical anomalies and their relative dispositions can be utilised to support tentative conclusions regarding dates and functions which would hopefully be confirmed with further mitigation. Two possible Neolithic/Bronze Age barrow ditches were recorded, one of which correlated with a very distinctive soilmark from aerial photographs. A substantially ditched, sub-square Roman farmstead or settlement was recorded in the northwest of the site, which probably contains at least one roundhouse structure, as illustrated by curvilinear gullies recorded within the enclosure. A field system of regular, small bounded fields was recorded in the west of the site. Though undated, the morphology and orientation of the system might suggest a later prehistoric or Roman date. This more regularised exploitation of the land would also fit with wider patterns of evidence of these periods recorded in a number of archaeological investigations in the area in the recent past. Investigations of field boundary ditches noted on earlier mapping and in the geophysical survey were proven during the evaluation and were dated to at least the 16th - 18th centuries, though many may have be medieval in origin.
