Abstract:		 The excavation of 64 trenches identified a range of archaeological features, predominantly in the western and central areas of the site. Prehistoric remains comprised a scatter of pits and parts of two small ditched, possibly circular, enclosures of Middle to Late Bronze Age date. A number of other undated features were also likely to be of prehistoric origin. Roman period remains formed a distinct concentration toward the middle of the site and included the probable partial remains of a building. Gravel surfaces and boundary or drainage ditches in its vicinity are likely to be parts of this same Roman occupation site. Pottery evidence suggests that there may have been two periods of occupation, early 2nd and 4th century. Early Saxon activity was represented by two possible sunken-featured buildings encountered in the same vicinity as the Roman period remains. However, no definitive dating evidence was retrieved from either feature. A substantial late Medieval or early post-medieval ditch busected the site, the position of which broadly correlates a land boundary depicted on a parish map of 1616. Further post-medieval land-use remains, in the form of various alignments of parallel groups of apparent drainage gullies, extend across all but the northwestern corner of the site. Although not dated precisely, these appear to be laid out in relation to the major 1616 map boundary and presumably relate to agricultural activity - perhaps being the remains of ridge-and-furrow.
