Abstract:		 Twenty-one trial trenches were excavated along the proposed route of the A6 Clapham Bypass, in order to test areas identified in the first stage of evaluation as having archaeological potential and to determine the character and extent of a possible Iron Age and Romano-British site centred on Oakley Road. The location of an extensive Iron Age and Romano-British settlement over 1.5ha in extent was confirmed to the north of the River, in the area to the south of Oakley Road. Evidence for the recutting of boundary ditches and the disposal of domestic refuse indicated settlement over a prolonged period. A single unurned cremation indicated ritual activity. With the exception of a post-medieval trackway, to the north of Oakley Road, no other archaeological features were identified. [Au(adp)]
