Abstract:		 The document presents an interim report on the features recorded during archaeological excavations undertaken in advance of the construction of an access track and a gas wellsite at Pits Plantation in November 1995, and makes recommendations on the potential for further analysis. The principal features recorded included sections across both ditches of the Rudston A cursus. The ditches were 70m apart and each ditch measured between 4-5m wide and 1m deep. The bank had not survived and, surprisingly, there was no bank-derived chalk within the fill of the ditch. The eastern cursus ditch was of similar dimensions to the western, and had been recut. This had in turn been cut by a circular pit which contained a single leaf-shaped arrowhead. To the west of the cursus a small pit contained numerous sherds of Neolithic Grimston style vessel. To the east of the cursus, at the junction of the access track and the wellsite, a wide hollow-way appeared to run towards the cropmarks of a Late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement in the adjacent field. Along the western edge of the wellsite a large pit was likely to have been a Romano-British chalk quarry. Elsewhere within the wellsite several small postholes of unknown date were recorded together with a pit which contained numerous fragments of an All Over Corded Beaker. This was situated on the margin of a large palaeochannel, from which soil cores were extracted for analysis. [Au(abr)]
