Abstract:		 Preceding geophysical survey of the proposed development site, in 2019, detected a small number of anomalies of possible or probable archaeological origin, as well as those indicative of geological variations and post-medieval agricultural land use, including clay extraction. A total of 48 trenches were investigated across the c 18.6ha site, of which 25 trenches were found to contain archaeological remains generally comprising ditches, pits and postholes. A moderately good correlation between the results of the geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation was demonstrated. A small number of pits in the north of the site and a more substantial pit in the south provide evidence of early/middle Neolithic activity. The assemblage of worked flint recovered from one of the pits is suggestive of a deliberately placed deposit. In the south-west, two ring ditches suggestive of barrows which may have been of early Bronze Age construction and perhaps continued to occupy the landscape into the early Iron Age. It is unknown if an unexcavated inhumation burial within the ring ditch was related to the use/reuse of the barrow. Evidence of more intensive prehistoric activity is dated to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age. Perpendicular ditches were recorded providing evidence of two areas of enclosure/field systems in the north-east and southern half of the site. The pottery, flint, animal bone and charred plant remains are suggestive of a small-scale agricultural site and perhaps a nearby associated settlement. Limited medieval/post-medieval to modern remains are demonstrative of continued agricultural use of the landscape, including evidence of activity related to the 19th-century brickworks known to have taken place on site as depicted on historic mapping. A WB followed the evaluation.
