Abstract:		 The methods used were as follows: • Stage One: An archaeological field evaluation of the site consisting of 25no 1m2 test pits. • Stage Two: An appraisal of the results of the evaluation and their significance with regard to the proposed development. This in turn may lead to the definition of a programme of investigation and recording of archaeological remains which will be destroyed by the development. Post-medieval and modern rubbish together with demolition material was concentrated within the area of the former clubhouse and pavilion where it was used for levelling the area. Whilst the HER clearly illustrates there are archaeological features within 1km of the site dating back as far as prehistory, only 13 pieces of worked flint were recovered from the test pits. While most of them were considered debitage, at least three could be identified as scrapers, dating back to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age period. The absence of archaeological features and the relatively scarcity of finds suggests volatile pre-historic human activities in the area, which might be in correlation with the wide floodplain of the River Ver.
