Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The earliest activity on the site was an Early Bronze Age pit in the north-west corner of the site which contained a Beaker pot. No other Early Bronze Age features were present, but residual pottery indicates further activity in the vicinity of the site. In the Later Bronze Age to Early Iron Age the landscape was subdivided into a field system. That occupation was nearby was evident in the large quantity of pottery present across the site. A possible roundhouse was present in the north-west corner of site, as well as postholes and pits. By the Middle Iron Age the field system had silted up and activity is less evident, although pits, postholes and a hearth were present. In the Latest Iron Age a roundhouse was constructed close to the earlier roundhouse. This was later re-built during the Early Roman period, demonstrating a continuity of occupation between the Latest Iron Age and the Early Roman in this area. A series of boundary ditches separating the up slope settlement area with the down slope 'industrial' area were continually re-established in the 1st century AD. A cremation, an oven and quarry pits were all located down slope of the boundary. Activity continued throughout the Mid Roman period, although no discernible structures were apparent. Two large areas of finds rich buried soil were present in the northern part of the excavation area, sealing the earlier deposits. The settlement may have shifted north to the very top of the slope, with only the southern extent present in the excavation area. Activity on the site appears to have declined by c. 300 AD, with only a shorter re-establishment of the boundary ditch dated to this period.
