Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development, the possibility of Roman occupation at the site having been suggested by the earlier discovery of a scatter of Romano-British pottery in an adjacent field. The area had been used for agricultural purposes from the medieval period onwards, as evidenced by ridge and furrow in the adjacent field and within the proposal site itself. One of the seven evaluation trenches revealed ditches containing Roman pottery. A subsequent excavation was undertaken of the area which had contained the features, which lay in the north-eastern part of the site. The main features recorded consisted of a boundary ditch enclosing an area to the north and east, which contained a sequence of frequently re-cut ditches running from east to west. It was concluded that the features had belonged to an enclosed rural settlement of the Roman period, the area excavated having been situated on the south-western corner of the settlement. [AIP]
