Abstract:		 Within the proposed development area, archaeological features comprised mostly undated ditches aligned with geophysically detected ridge and furrow. These ditches did not have the usual shape or fill expected of furrows and were probably later features intended for drainage. An additional undated curvilinear gully (1006) also appears to be a later drain. An undated removed former hedgerow (505) could not be identified on historic maps but was again on the same alignment as the former ridge and furrow. Ceramic land drains were also seen to respect the former arrangement of ridge and furrow. It is likely that the ridge and furrow was visible in the field at the time these features were in use, and that the alignment of the hedgerow and drains (both ditches and ceramic) represent a preserved memory of the former ploughing pattern. All of the features within the development area likely post-date the removed ridge and furrow and therefore may be of post-medieval or possibly late medieval date, although no dating evidence was recovered from this area. The ridge and furrow itself was not detected archaeologically. Four trenches extended east outside of the development area into an area of higher archaeological interest. Two human skulls, at least one from a north-to-south aligned probably pagan burial, were left in situ. A lone prehistoric pit (1209) was recorded in the south east. In the north-east, a series of ditches on a different alignment (roughly north to south) are all probably of medieval date. Some of these north-to-south ditches were dated by the presence of pottery, but others are thought to be medieval based on similar alignment and profile shapes. These medieval ditches (and also the human remains) are in an area identified by the Desk-Based Assessment (ECUS Ltd 2017) as having been under different ownership to the rest of the Site at the time of inclosure in the 18th century.
