Abstract:		 The archaeological background for the site suggested that there would a low to moderate potential for encountering prehistoric and Roman activity, and moderate to high potential for finds and features from the Saxon, Medieval, and Post-Medieval periods Three archaeological phases were encountered at the site. The first phase relates to Saxon activity. Given the sites location and the lack of any other features or finds dating to this period it is likely that this is just an outlying discreet pit possibly for domestic waste disposal. The truncation most likely occurred when the area was turned over to more intensive agriculture and a period of deep ploughing ensued. The second phase relates to the post medieval period in particular to the two ditches found in the south east of the site at the top of the hill that overlooks the northern extent of the area. Both these ditches bear all the hallmarks of being former boundary ditches used to demarcate the limit of medieval back plots that likely extend from the medieval village core directly to the south of the site. The third and final phase at the site relates to late post medieval and modern use of the site for agriculture. The evaluation successfully identified features from the Saxon and medieval period which are likely associated with the former medieval core of the village. Despite the potential for finds and features dating from the Prehistoric and Roman periods no archaeological features from these periods were encountered on the site.
