Abstract:		 Two pits dated to the Earlier Iron Age provide the earliest evidence for occupation of the site. In the Early Roman period (AD 60-100) two adjacent kilns and an associated well were constructed close to the suggested course of a Roman road. There were two principal kiln products - flagons in a distinctive white/buff fabric and coarse wares, especially black-surfaced jars. A large pottery assemblage, comprised mostly of wasters, was recovered from the kilns and the well, together with fragments of kiln furniture. Two ditched enclosures and scattered pits in the same area provide evidence for contemporary occupation. Pottery production ceased towards the end of the 1st century, after which the site was abandoned. A pit containing pottery dated AD 150-300+ suggests that there was occasional use of the site during the mid/late Roman period. During the Early/Middle Anglo-Saxon period (5th-7th century), a small settlement was established in the western half of the site. It was represented by three SFBs, four possible SFBs, associated pits and a possible boundary ditch. A possible timber building (post construction) was located north of the SFBs. Associated fragments of fired clay with wattle and post impressions suggest destruction by fire. Currently undated, the postulated building might have been part of the Anglo-Saxon settlement or a later (medieval) farmstead. A site-wide layer of subsoil probably accumulated naturally during a period of abandonment, with subsequent reworking during cultivation in the medieval/early post-medieval period.
