Abstract:		 The evaluation, consisting of the excavation of 12 trial trenches, was undertaken in advance of the submission of a planning application for the construction of an office, a new clubhouse and rugby pitch and associated groundworks. In the southern part of the site very limited evidence of an undated field system was identified. In the northern part of the site, limited evidence of a field system probably dating to the medieval period was identified. Two ditches, one of which was a substantial boundary ditch adjacent to a bank, were identified in trench 8, these probably dated to the medieval period. A small quantity of high status Romano-British building material was recovered from residual contexts in Trench 8. The most significant material recovered was a well-preserved sherd of Beaker pottery from the primary fill of a large stone-packed post hole in Trench 8. Although this sherd may have been residual, it was possible that this post hole was Early Bronze in date. The limited Romano-British and medieval activity on the site increased the possibility that prehistoric remains may have survived later truncation. [Au(abr)]
