Abstract:		 The evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed all-weather hockey pitch. Removal by mechanical excavator of an average 250mm of topsoil revealed the presence of well-preserved archaeological deposits of Romano-British date. These deposits comprised at least one stone built building, cut features, occupation and demolition deposits, a stone-lined drain and a single infant inhumation adjacent to a probable building. The high density of subsoil features meant only limited hand excavation, with investigation generally comprising cleaning, recording and the collection of artefacts from the exposed surface. Nevertheless, significant quantities were recovered, including local black-burnished coarseware, imported finewares, small quantities of roof tile, shale, ironwork, and flint tools used in the late manufacture of shale objects. The pottery evidence indicated a 1st or 2nd-century AD emphasis for the site, with little evidence for earlier or later activity. It could be shown that the site extended the full extent of the proposed development east to west but it was not possible to fully define its extent to the north and south. [Au(abr)]
