Abstract:		 The archaeological assessment revealed evidence of peripheral activity in the form of buried soils and artefacts in the west of the site, but despite previously recorded Roman boundary ditches/gullies and artefacts, no discrete features were identified. The finds indicated the survival of limited activity, extending as far as Northgate Way and slightly to its west although no clear western settlement boundary was established, possibly because they had not been formally demarcated. As no Romano-British deposits were found in the southern part of the site it is possible that activity had not extended this far. Evidence for prehistoric activity was found, in the form of a boundary ditch/drainage feature, underlying a buried Roman soil to the west of Chase High School. Probably of Bronze Age origin, representing a single large vessel. The feature appeared to have been deliberately backfilled with a deposit, which also included a small quantity of early Iron Age material, dating the disuse of the feature to that period. The rarity of evidence for activity of this period made this of potential significance. [Au(abr)]
