Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. An earlier desk-top and walkover survey had identified the site as having archaeological potential, due to surviving earthwork features and the possibility of locating buried prehistoric deposits. During the evaluation, eleven test-pits, nine machine-cut trenches and two geological trial pits were excavated. A further trench was also cut through a surviving lynchet. The test-pits produced 18th and 19th century finds, mainly consisting of small, abraded sherds of pottery and tile. A single feature, containing material of a probable 18th-19th century date, was revealed. No archaeological features were found within the trenches. The lynchet was found to have been of 18th century date. A flint end-scraper of probable later prehistoric date was recovered from it; this was likely to have been residual. The geological trial pits contained no artefacts of archaeological interest. Their main purpose was to determine the likelihood of Palaeolithic cultural material surviving in a primary context. The deposits observed were unlikely to have supported such remains, although charcoal flecks which could have derived from human activity were present within one of the pits. With the exception of two possible sherds of Romano-British pottery, no ceramic material pre-dating the 18th century was recovered. It was concluded that the proposal site had seen little use in the past for activities other than agriculture. [AIP]
