Abstract:		 An evaluation on two known earthwork sites was carried out. Site I showed evidence of deliberate and complex construction, involving terracing of the hillside, 'buttressing' orthostat and boulder walls and the presence of stone buildings, using dry-stone methods and roughly fashioned stone blocks. Other than fragments of charcoal, no finds were recovered. As radiocarbon dating could not be carried out, the dating of the earthworks remains tentative, but evidence points to a farmstead settlement. The trench, excavated at Site II, produced two sherds of Romano-British greywares and evidence of burning, possibly associated with food processing. The nature and construction of the enclosure bank clearly linked both sites. The sherd recorded from the deposits was of c. 2nd century date and the single greyware sherd suggested a Romano-British origin. Geophysical survey indicated a strong magnetic enhancement of the deposits associated with the enclosure bank and suggested a stronger indication of domestic activity. [Au(adp)]
