Abstract:		 Following geophysical survey in 2016 and evaluation in January-February 2018 of the c.12ha development, three excavation areas, totalling c.3,380sq m, were targeted upon multi-period remains in the west and south. Residual worked flint and occasional pottery fragments of generally Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date provides evidence for a limited and perhaps transitory prehistoric presence in the landscape. A small number of undated pits with charcoal-rich deposits and signs of in situ burning, interpreted as fire pits/hearths, may have been related to prehistoric land use. A small quantity of heavily abraded, residual Roman pottery was suggestive of Roman land use in the wider landscape. Features within Area 2, in the south-west of the site, have been tentatively dated to the Late Saxon period. The similarly orientated ditches are suggestive of the division/enclosure of the landscape, whilst several short, parallel gullies, postholes and clusters of pits are suggestive of a focus of occupation, such as a small farmstead, possibly constituting the remains of a building and indicative of associated outlying activity. Limited post-medieval/modern remains, comprising field boundary ditches, an animal burial pit and a possible quarry pit, are indicative of agricultural use of the landscape.
