Abstract:		 Three excavation areas totalling 2.32ha were investigated in the north, southwest and southeast parts of the site. A low level of prehistoric land use, spanning the Neolithic to Iron Age periods, was identified. Further parts of the distinctive Roman fields / cultivation systems previously encountered in Phase 1 were recorded in the north excavation Area and further parts of the NNNE/SSW orientated trackway identified in both the north and southwest areas. Roman period land use in the south areas of the site appears to have been of a significantly differing character, with a single large ditched enclosure dominating the southeast and a much more organic and irregular layout being prevalent in the southwest - perhaps of a more settlement nature. Of note is a Roman ring-ditch containing four well-furnished cremation burials in the southwest excavation area. While the Late Roman trackway appears to be inserted into the pre-existing layout in the north, in the southwest it disrupts land use and prompts a new enclosure layout in relation to it. A small number of features hint at occupation in the Early Saxon period, in the south excavation areas. A Late Saxon/early medieval settlement, probably a farmstead/manorial complex comprising linear buildings arranged around a yard, subsequently occupies the southeast area with a possible outlying structure being present in the southwest, separated by the former Roman trackway. No further land use activity is evidenced until the post-medieval period; a single ditch and pit evidence the agricultural landscape associated with the nearby earlier post-medieval farmstead of Cold Hall.
