Abstract:		 A program of geoarchaeological boreholes, deposit modelling and laboratory-based assessment was carried out at the site. The results revealed a sequence of River Terrace Gravels overlain by peat, organic-rich and tufa sediments then alluvium and made ground. The peat, organic-rich and tufa sediments were radiocarbon dated from the early Neolithic to Medieval period. An assessment of the pollen, diatom and macrofossil content indicated a freshwater environment supporting the growth of sedge fen and reed swamp communities with little floodplain woodland. The neighboring dryland was dominated by mixed deciduous woodland. A strong anthropogenic signal was recorded in the form of cereal pollen grains and indicators of disturbed / open ground. Further work was recommended.
