Abstract:		 Excavation over an area of 15,000 sqm confirmed and enhanched surface collection evidence for a large ploughsoi scatter of struck flint, ranging in date from the Mesolithic through to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. No traces of prehistoric buildings were located, but two pits and two tree holes containing ?prehistoric pottery were found. Five late Mesolithic 'tranchet' axes were recovered from the site. Evidence for early and middle Saxon occupation of the site came from ditches, postholes, pits, grubenhauser, a droveway and a long building with enclosure. Large pottery assemblages were recovered from several of these features. A Christian Saxon cemetery containing individuals of mixed age and sex was fully excavated. [Au]
