Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation comprised 40 trenches, each approximately 50 m x 2 m, located across six fields. The trenches were targeted on both geophysical anomalies and apparent blank areas throughout the proposed development footprint area. One main area of archaeological potential was identified in the central part of the southern half of the Site, centred on Trenches 31, 33, 34 and 35. A number of ditches and deposits containing material dating to the Romano-British period were identified in this area, with the greatest density of archaeological features in Trenches 31 and 35. Trenches 17 and 27, located slightly further to the north of the main concentration, also contained features tentatively dated to the Romano-British period. The majority of the ditches encountered in these areas are likely to have formed components of field systems or enclosures. However, the quantity and character of cultural material recovered from some of the ditches and spreads are suggestive of a degree of contemporary settlement activity in the immediate area. The areas that have been demonstrated to contain buried Romano-British remains may be of sufficient archaeological interest to merit further, targeted investigation, should these parts of the Site be directly impacted during the implementation of the development. Evidence for activity within the Site during other periods was considerably more limited. A very small assemblage of residual pottery and worked flint, and a tree throw hole of possible Bronze Age date provided the only traces of prehistoric activity. No finds or features of Saxon or medieval date were identified. A lime kiln, shown on late 19th century historic maps and detected by geophysical survey, was the only notable post-medieval feature encountered during the evaluation. As such, there is likely to be very limited potential for archaeologically significant remains derived from prehistoric or post-Roman periods to be present elsewhere within the Site.
