Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an agricultural reservoir, which lay partially within an area of cropmarks. The earliest features revealed dated from the Middle Iron Age and comprised a rectangular enclosure at the north-west of the evaluation area, although earlier pottery, including some of Bronze Age date, was present. The focus of the site had shifted to the eastern field by the early Roman period, where a complex field system with trackways was revealed. This dated to the first and second centuries AD, although the presence of pottery dating from before AD 70 suggested that it may have originated in the Late Iron Age. Although no evidence of Roman farm buildings was observed, two enclosures which could have been the sites of such buildings were found. The pottery evidence suggested that this would have been a 'high status' site. There was little evidence to suggest occupation beyond the late second century. A magnetometer survey undertaken within two small areas of the site identified two anomalies characteristic of ditches, one of which corresponded approximately with a cropmark. It was concluded that the excavations had shown that the aerial photographic evidence was reliable. [Au(adp)]
