Abstract:		 There was a scattering of Mesolithic and Neolithic flint as well as a small number of undesignated prehistoric pits and postholes. The Late Bronze Age saw a dramatic increase in activity on site intense activity taking place in isolated pockets of the site as well as the digging of large linears again isolated from other features. A rectilinear enclosure was also recorded close to an area of pitting, probably for quarrying and for storage. The main focus of the Bronze Age activity was in the east of the site where a number of post built structures were recorded, while some of these appear to have been used for cereal storage and processing others are may have ritual functions given the presence of three barrows on site. While the Iron Age saw less activity on site, what there was appeared to respect much of the Bronze Age landscape; similarly aligned features and continuation of pitting were present in some areas. The prehistoric activity as a whole also highlighted the frequent mirroring of the alignment of the Roman road Stane Street, with both Bronze Age and Iron Age features on this alignment or perpendicular to it suggesting the road may follow the line of an older trackway. The Roman period saw surprisingly little activity given the proximity of the road; only a few sherds of pottery from a colluvial deposit were retrieved. The colluvium appears to have been deposited in two main phases with all features cut through the lower colluvium while the upper deposit overlay the Bronze Age and Iron Age features and may be of Roman date. The post-medieval and modern activity was limited to 19th or 20th century field boundaries and post-war made ground.
