Abstract:		 Four trenches were excavated across the site and post-medieval disturbance was confirmed across parts of the site. Post-medieval features and modern make-up layers were present in all trenches. In trench 1, two areas of dense charcoal and burnt bone concentrations were uncovered established as a cremation of probable Roman date. Although 416 fragments of bone were recovered, only five were diagnostic, comprising one human, one pig and three goat/sheep fragments. A linear ditch orientated east/west and truncated remains of a posthole were also identified in trench 1, of medieval or earlier date. Further trenching revealed considerable evidence of 18th/19th-century activity, but no more cremations or early features were found. Service pipes were encountered in Trench 4. Trench 5 was mostly cellared, but a wall and sandstone flagged flooring were uncovered probably related to the saw mill known to occupy the site in the mid-19th century. The evaluation also confirmed that the land to the north-west had been levelled. [Au(abr)]
