Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed two ditches of Neolithic date containing Peterborough Ware pottery. A moderate concentration of flint artefacts, mostly associated with tool production and of probable Early Neolithic date, was also identified in the same area. In addition, an isolated human cremation was located in this uphill area, which may have been related to the prehistoric activity in the vicinity. Numerous ditches and gullies, probably agricultural in function, were revealed. Artefact evidence indicated that limited Late Iron Age and Roman activity was focussed in this area, though no securely dated features of these periods were identified. Securely dated medieval features were rare and related to field boundaries, ridge and furrow cultivation and headlands. Artefacts recovered from the site suggested that this agricultural usage of the area commenced in the 14th century and continued into the post-medieval period. [AIP]
