Abstract:		 Although a geophysical survey did not identify any anomalies believed to indicate archaeological features, thirteen trial trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were present to the south and north of the main runway. To the south, a large Late Iron Age ditch was uncovered, possibly related to a previously excavated farmstead. An undated ditch, which contained a post-hole, terminated in Trench 10. North of the runway were boundary ditches of late medieval date, some of which had previously been identified as cropmarks. A single pit of unknown date was found in Trench 2. A variety of post-medieval/modern activities were uncovered. A modern boundary and possible fence line was revealed in Trench 10. An area of hard standing was discovered in Trench 6, perhaps associated with the operation of the airfield or agriculture. The geophysical survey noted massive magnetic disturbance, probably related to modern dumping, at the southern end of the runway. Evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation and modern agricultural land drains were recorded in most trial trenches. [Au(abr)]
