Abstract:		 Three pieces of worked, or possibly worked flint were recovered from archaeological features and the ploughsoil. The material is not closely dateable but attests to low levels of prehistoric activity on or near the site during this period. Prehistoric remains were encountered in the northeastern corner of the site, consisting of a ditch and a pit, from which were recovered a small number of pottery sherds of Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age date. By close association, three undated pits and two small ditches in the same area may be of a similar date. The small number of finds and sparsity of environmental material recovered from soil samples taken from these features suggest that the activity is peripheral to any nearby areas of settlement, the ditches perhaps forming paddocks or livestock enclosures at the edge of a small farmstead. Three parallel, similar-sized ditches at the eastern edge of the site may be the remains of Late Iron Age or Roman cultivation/drainage channels. Evidence for later activity on the site was confined to land drains that were installed in the 20th century.
