Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation of four areas (265 sq.m, 245 sq.m, 26 sq.m and 12.8 sq.m) was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new sewage treatment works. The excavation revealed evidecne of prehistoric and Romano-British use of the area in the form of disturbed finds scatters, During the late 11th/early 12th century a toft boundary was established which enclosed the majority of the excavated area, and probably utilised the nearby stream as its north-eastern edge. From its establishment to the late 13th century, the boundary was subject to at least four recuts although its positioning remained constant throughout. Activities within the toft appeared to have fluctuated with possible evidence of structural activity from the very earliest phases, followed by intensive pit digging for gravel extraction in the early 13th century. Succeeding this the most prolific period of activity provided large-scale evidence for structural activity until the later 14th century when the site appeared to have been abandoned, possibly in conjunction with the general shrinkage of the village. At some point in the 16th century the site was re-occupied and activity continued until the 18th/19th century when the site fell to disuse once again. [Au(adp)]
