Abstract:		 Rescue excavations recorded the remains of an unenclosed MIA settlement. A roundhouse, dated from a charcoal sample to 390--115 BC, and associated features were clearly distinct from a second area of features grouped around a limestone pavement some 140m to the north. Artefactual evidence, mainly from the roundhouse and nearby features, supplemented by charred cereal remains from the area of limestone paving, suggests that the inhabitants practised a mixed subsistence economy similar to that known from other Upper Thames sites of the period. Increasing concern with drainage of the roundhouse might have contributed to eventual abandonment of the site. There are specialist reports on: `The pottery' by Jane Timby (78--82); `Objects of iron' by Graeme Walker (83 & 85); `Iron slag' by Chris Salter (83); `Mould fragments' by Chris Salter (83); `The worked stone' by Fiona Roe (84 & 85); `Struck flint' by Graeme Walker (84); `The animal bone' by Mark Maltby (86 & 87); `The macroscopic plant remains' by Mark Robinson (86--8); and `Radiocarbon dates' from charcoal samples, by Graeme Walker (89).
