Abstract:		 Three areas of archaeological interest were identified, although only one of these could be dated with any certainty due to the lack of artefactual dating evidence. This was part of an Iron Age settlement, including parts of an enclosure ditch, which had previously been investigated by Cotswold Archaeology in a field adjacent to the site. There was no artefactual dating material from the current site but a small assemblage of pottery had been recovered from the adjacent evaluation, which dated the settlement to the Late Iron Age, with some of the pottery dating to as late as the mid-1st century AD. The other two areas consisted of a small enclosure near the northern edge of the site and a concentration of features in the south-east corner, which included a possible third enclosure and part of a possible Neolithic causeway enclosure. They are undated, but were seen to predate the furrows of a medieval open field system. The remains of a medieval open field system, evident as largely ploughed out furrows, were recorded across the central and eastern part of the site. Other features included modern land drains and backfilled quarry pits. The evaluation demonstrated that many of the geophysical anomalies and cropmarks, including four possible ring ditches, were caused by changes in the composition of the geological substrate, which was highly variable across the site.
