Abstract:		 The evaluation has recorded a small number of features and a small finds assemblage of archaeological interest, most of which lie in the northern part of the site. This relatively small dataset from the evaluation has been problematic in resolving most of the project aims and objectives. However, the evaluation evidence overall does indicate low density activity on the site of Neolithic/Bronze Age and Roman date. A small assemblage of relatively non-diagnostic and unstratified worked flint, comprising mostly debitage, was recorded across the site. The technological and morphological traits present on the lithic material indicate a probable Neolithic/Bronze age date. The assemblage also included three scrapers from the topsoil of Trenches 12, 13 and 15. The presence of a similarly widespread and small assemblage of burnt flint, both unstratified and residual in later features, would support the presence of ephemeral and episodic activity of Neolithic/Bronze Age date on the site. Two relatively minor, Roman ditches were also recorded on the slightly higher, east/west ridge between the watercourses. The ditches contained residual worked and burnt flint as well as fired clay and Roman-British pottery. The pottery was of regional and Continental manufacture and included a small assemblage of diagnostic 2nd century AD material from ditch 103 in Trench 1. The similar size, morphology and perpendicular alignments (to eachother) or ditches 103 (Trench 1) and 903 (Trench 9) would indicate the ditches represent Romano-British field boundaries on the higher ground between the watercourses.
