Abstract:		 A series of watching briefs followed by an excavation at Elm Park revealed a Beaker burial, and a number of ditches defining a Late Iron Age and early Roman field system. There was one possible Late Iron Age/Roman post-built structure, lying mainly off-site. Residual finds included Neolithic/Bronze Age pottery, and a possible Palaeolithic flake. The principal find was the Beaker pot, otherwise the finds were dominated by a large group of Iron Age/Roman pottery (27kg). The acid soil precluded the survival of any organic remains beyond a single cow tooth, and may also have been responsible for the lack of a body in the Beaker burial. [Au]
