Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed deveopment site which included part of the site of a Roman fort, and was thought to have potential for evidence relating to civilian settlement or to defensive features. Fieldwalking was carried out prior to the excavation of trial trenches, but only post-medieval pottery and fragments of burnt stone were recovered. A resistivity survey was also undertaken, but no anomalies of possible archaeological interest were identified. During the evaluation, the outermost ditch on the eastern side of the Phase 1 fort was revealed, and a further, re-cut, ditched fort boundary was identified. This was interpreted as the eastern side of a hitherto unrecognised fort or annexe. Two gullies located to the west of the newly-discovered defences may have been associated. The ditch fills contained pottery of late 1st-early 2nd century date. A small number of clay pipe and 18th-19th century pottery fragments were also recovered during the evaluation. It was recommended that the archaeological remains should be excavated or preserved in situ, or that a combination of these two options shoud be considered. [Au(adp)]
