Abstract:		 The project required the excavation of three 30mx1.8m trenches, two 21mx1.8m trenches and a single 18mx1.8m trench. All trenches ran along the long axis of the proposed new buildings. No significant archaeological features were identified in trenches 1, 4 and 5. In Trench 2, 3 and 6 a number of linear, pit and posthole features were identified. These features were predominantly undated, although two contained struck flint flakes and one contained a sherd of prehistoric pottery. Most of the undated features contained fills that were visually similar to those which could be dated to the prehistoric period and may consequently be roughly contemporary. The features in Trench 6 predominantly contained darker fills with some organic, root derived content. One of these features, however, contained a struck flint flake and was cut by two possible postholes, indicating that they are also likely to be of archaeological origin. All dated features were of prehistoric origin and it is likely that the majority of undated features are roughly contemporary with them. Within the limits of the evaluation, it would appear that the possibility exists for the presence of at least one ring ditch.
