Abstract:		 A second phase of excavation, to mitigate the archaeology in order to satisfy the planning requirements ahead of a development, revealed that a flint spread and later Neolithic pit were concentrated around a natural feature. This feature had served as a source of raw lithic material and a focus for the primary reduction of that material from at least the Early Neolithic, similar activity had occurred in the later Neolithic. The spread of pottery around the pit already found suggested either domestic or middening activity around the same natural feature. Parallels were drawn with similar discoveries at nearby sites. The large linear ditch previously discovered produced some dating evidence, but it could not be decided whether it belonged to the Roman or Saxon periods. A probable air-raid shelter was discovered in the course of investigating the line of the ditch. [Au(abr)]
