Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Previous desk-based assesment had identified that prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval activity had occurred at the site. A significant assemblage of prehistoric flint artefacts and heat-shattered stones represented the debris of Bronze Age burnt mounds. A cropmarked enclosure was also thought to have been of prehistoric date, and it was suggested that a medieval moat may have been located within the south-eastern part of the site. Medieval ridge and furrow earthworks had also been recorded. The evaluation comprised a re-assessment of the available air photographic evidence, a walkover survey, geophysical scanning and survey and the excavation of 53 trial trenches. Bronze Age stream channels, tree-boles, gullies and a ditch were recorded, as were 12th-14th century tree-boles, gullies, pits, and ridge and furrow. No evidence for a medieval moated site was found. A large oval enclosure was thought to date from the medieval period, but may have utilised an earlier feature. It was concluded that the potential of the site for further archaeological excavation and research should not be underestimated, and that the potential for the analysis of spatial patterning and restructuring of the landscape over time was high.
