Abstract:		 Five evaluation trenches were excavated through the earthwork enclosure. The enclosure ditch was approximately 7-9m wide and over 1.5m deep, decreasing width towards its western end. It was steep sided with a flat base, and waterlogged organic fills were preserved in basal levels. Parts of the surviving bank were over 2.3m wide and survived to a height of up to 0.4m. The total width of the bank varied between 5-6m wide and 0.42-00.58m high. Late Roman remains were found under the bank and it appeared that the digging of the enclosure ditch cut earlier features. The earthwork, therefore, was post-Roman in date but its attribution to a particular period remained uncertain. Wood preserved in waterlogged conditions and samples taken for environmental analyses, could be used to achieve a more precise date. Undated features were found in the interior of the enclosure. Externally some more ephemeral features were discovered beneath topsoil, these had been truncated by narrowly spaced plough furrows. [Au(abr)]
