Abstract:		 The investigation revealed two foci of activity - mid-late Iron Age enclosures on the lower ground adjacent to Turvey Road in the south-west and a complex sequence of later Iron Age and Romano-British enclosures and boundaries on the higher ground in the vicinity of the turbine base. The enclosures were associated with pits and extensive spreads of material. Pottery was recovered from the surface of the exposed features, as well as a collection of metalworking debris indicative of both iron smelting and smithing. The paucity of features in the cable trench indicated that the enclosure system did not extend far to the east of the turbine base. A series of medieval cultivation furrows were identified on the high ground to the east of the turbine base. This investigation adds to the growing body of evidence for settlement andassociated activity in this area during the Iron Age and Roman periods.
