Abstract:		 A programme of evaluation and excavation of an area off Coxwell Road, Faringdon (immediately to the north of the excavation described in pages 119--80 of the same issue) was carried out in 1999. The excavations revealed a settlement dating to the Early and Middle Iron Age, and a single Late Iron Age pit suggests the settlement may have shifted to a nearby location. Continued activity in the Roman period suggests that the excavated area was on the periphery of a settlement. The Iron Age features included roundhouses, enclosures, ditches, pits and postholes. The Roman activity comprised a small number of pits and ditches, an inhumation and a corn drier. The Iron Age settlement was typical of the terrace gravel sites in the region, with a mixed agricultural economy that intensified in the Middle Iron Age and continued into the Roman period. Special deposits of domesticated-animal bones, skulls, wild-animal bones, quern stones and human remains were recovered from pits, enclosures, eaves drip gullies and porch postholes in the Iron Age and Roman periods. Specialist reports include
