Abstract:		 The fieldwork evaluation comprised the excavation of 13 trenches, each measuring 30m in length and 1.8m in width. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies. A total of 24 trenches were specified in the preceding WSI (CA 2023), however in the event 13 trenches were excavated to avoid disturbance to an active rugby training pitch with the approval of Cat Lodge. In April 2023, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of Land at Kenn Road, Yatton, North Somerset. A total of 13 trenches were excavated. A single sherd of Iron Age pottery was recovered from a ditch identified in a trench excavated towards the southern edge of the site. The function of this ditch remains unclear although it may relate to localised agricultural activity. A further, though residual, sherd of pottery of an Iron Age date was recovered from a ditch dating to the Roman period in a trench excavated immediately adjacent. A concentration of features, comprising pits and ditches, indicative of probable settlement activity of Roman date, were identified in the south-western part of the site (focussed on Trenches 19-22). The remains of two walls identified in one of these trenches indicates the presence of a stone-built structure in this area, although the extent, form and function of this structure remains unclear. Further ditches of a Roman date, albeit seemingly of a more agricultural nature, were identified in a trench excavated in the central part of the site.
