Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out within part of a proposed development site where an early Saxon brooch, two cropmarks and a WWII pill box and tank trap had been recorded. The surrounding area had been densely settled from prehistoric times onwards. During the evaluation, an area of activity dating from the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age was identified. Features included pits, ditches, post holes and stakeholes, and were sealed by colluvium containing Roman pottery. Poorly preserved Roman ditches and other features containing 1st-2nd century pottery were recorded, in an area where colluvium did not occur and the overburden was relatively thin. It was concluded that colluvium across much of the site seemed to have masked buried archaeological features so that they were not visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. [Au(adp)]
