Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken across the proposed site of a residential nursing home. Initially two trenches were excavated (20m by 2.0m), one of which produced no significant archaeological remains although soil profiles were found to be relatively intact below modern surfacing. The other trench, whilst demonstrating good soil survival, also contained a feature which produced several finds of Roman origin. A third trench (10.0m by 4.0m) was deemed necessary to gain the full extent and definition of the feature; resulting in the discovery of some Early to Mid-Saxon pottery. Only residual prehistoric and Roman evidence was encountered. An absence of medieval and later material, apart from minimal quantities of 17th and 18th century finds in the topsoil, suggested, as did the surviving maps, that in later periods the area remained open agricultural land.
