Abstract:		 Two areas (317 sq m and 186 sq m) were stripped mechanically under archaeological supervision and all features investigated or sampled by hand excavation. Two small areas revealed a dense concentration of very shallow (badly eroded?) archaeological features, mostly of two well-defined phases: early Roman and early Saxon. A couple of pits possibly could be of the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron age, and two more might be middle to late Iron Age but the majority of the features date to the mid-1st century AD and appear to have been chalk quarry pits, presumably for marl or lime. A surprising second phase is represented by the repeated marking of a boundary line by recut ditches in the early Saxon period. Finds were extremely scarce, but the chronology of the two main phases appears secure, and the modest quantity of flints found supports the possibility of an earlier (prehistoric) phase even though few features can be assigned to it.
