Abstract:		 The evaluation consisted of three 50m long trenches. The trenches were located to investigate anomalies identified during the geophysical survey, as well as to provide a representative sample of the area affected by the northern part of the proposed gallop. Non-significant overburden was removed, under constant archaeological supervision, to the top of archaeological remains, or the underlying natural deposits, whichever was encountered first. This was achieved through use of a 360° mechanical excavator, equipped with a toothless grading bucket. Features and spoil tips were visually scanned for finds. The evaluation, in conjunction with the geophysical survey, has demonstrated the presence of archaeological remains in the central and eastern parts of the site. Pits and a ditch present in Trench 2 were possibly parts of pit-alignment and ditch boundaries, which could be provisionally dated to the later Prehistoric and/or Roman period. Two ditches present in Trench 3 were related to a Roman enclosure, which extended to the east, beyond the site. A rectilinear feature of uncertain function, which was adjacent to one of the ditches, was also of Roman date. A nearby posthole was undated and its relationship with the Roman features remained uncertain. The geophysical survey indicated that parts of the enclosure to the northeast were associated with building remains. Whilst no structural remains were present within Trench 3, the presence of Roman CBM and building stone in some feature fills indicated that buildings, which were possibly related to a villa complex, are likely to have been located nearby.
