Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a quarry. Earlier desk-based assessment had indicated that a possible Saxon or early medieval settlement may have lain on or in the vicinity of fields which lay immediately to the east and south-east of the proposal area. Fieldwalking of the site revealed several potential clusters of prehistoric flints, which were investigated by the evaluation trenches. Probable prehistoric features cut into the underlying clays and bedrock were encountered in two of the four trenches. These comprised a small gully, a probable ditch terminal and a shallow linear scoop or gully with an associated post hole. Further flint flakes and tools were collected, and small quantities of Romano-British and medieval pottery sherds were recovered. The majority of the flints seemed to be of Neolithic date, although a barbed and tanged arrowhead indicated Bronze Age activity. It was noted that ploughing had removed all archaeological deposits above the natural substrate. A watching brief during topsoil stripping and an evaluation of the fills of any features discovered were recommended. [AIP]
