Abstract:		 The excavation uncovered a pit containing a prehistoric worked flint, and more extensive evidence for occupation during the late Iron Age/early Roman period and up to the 2nd century AD. Three phases of enclosure were identified within the area of the site including a late Iron Age phase, an early Roman phase (AD 50-120) and 2nd century phase (AD 120-200). The exact form of the late Iron Age/Roman enclosures was unclear as much of the central and northern part of the site appeared to have been truncated by modern ploughing. The truncation of the site had also removed any internal features of the enclosure, although a piece of fired clay with a wattle impression found in a late Iron Age ditch suggested the presence of an oven structure nearby. Several environmental samples indicated that wheat was grown locally during the late Iron Age and during the 2nd century. The animal bone from late Iron Age/Roman contexts indicated the presence of cattle and sheep/goat remains with fewer specimens of pig, horse, dog and rodent. The pottery from the site consisted mainly of Malvern area fabrics in the late Iron Age, while Severn Valley ware was subsequently dominant. This may indicate that there was a relatively local production of Severn Valley pottery in the area. Three sherds of intrusive medieval pottery were found within the Roman ditch groups 205 and 204. These may have originated from a medieval furrow which itself had probably been truncated.
