Abstract:		 Excavations revealed evidence of prehistoric activity dating from the Mesolithic through to the Late Bronze Age. The earliest activity took the form of three amorphous pits, apparently utilized for the extraction of knappable flint nodules during the Mesolithic period. Also identified were a Late Neolithic--Early Bronze Age flint scatter and at least two phases of Late Bronze Age activity comprising three post-built structures and an associated cluster of rubbish pits, enclosed within an area defined by a boundary ditch. A subsequent phase of Late Bronze Age activity saw settlements being abandoned and the area being utilized possibly for the extraction of workable flint. The prehistoric features were sealed by agricultural ploughsoil, from which further prehistoric finds were recovered. The archaeological evidence recovered from the site adds significantly to the large body of evidence for Late Bronze Age settlement and agricultural practice in the Beddington area, while the recovery of struck flint assemblages from the Mesolithic and Late Bronze Age allows for the comparison and contrast of two distinct technological styles.
