Abstract:		 <summary>Evaluation revealed the presence of a long sequence of archaeological activity on the proposed development site. Scatters of Mesolithic and Bronze Age worked flints, Iron Age settlement associated with a late Iron Age/early Roman ditched cemetery, and part of a medieval fishpond complex were revealed. The discovery of burials, including the interment of incomplete bodies as well as complete skeletons, and the recovery of a Roman curse tablet from within the cemetery, suggested that the site may have functioned as a shrine, most probably in a native "sacred grove" form. {italon}AIP{italoff}
