Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of proposals to construct a medical centre within an area of 0.67ha. The site was located to the west of the historic core of the town. The desk-based assessment indicated the possibility of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and later remains on the site, and discussed the likely nature of surviving deposits. The available documentary evidence showed that the area had not been part of a built up area and lay distant from the area of Roman activity and a medieval port at the Old Croft Roddon. The assessment site was situated to the west of the church and was likely to contain the structural remains of prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity. The site may contain Roman and medieval water management features. The area was an agricultural field before it became a recreation ground and was probably largely undisturbed. Archaeological finds and cropmarks were known from close to the site, confirming that the area had a moderately high archaeological potential, though no remains were known within the site itself. The trial trench evaluation revealed post-medieval and modern features. [Au(abr)]
