Abstract:		 A four trench field evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of a flood storage reservoir. The evaluation revealed an extensive area of made ground in the south-west part of the site. A small pit of Roman date was identified in Trench 3, cut through a layer of redeposited gravel and clay that dated to this period or earlier. A ditch extending adjacent to the Markyate Cell mansion at the bottom of the embankment in Trench 1 was likely to have been of medieval or later date. Make-up layers in Trench 4 contained post-medieval material, suggesting that there had been landscaping activity on the site at different periods. A modern land drain and a water service pipe were also identified within the evaluation trenches. [Au(abr)]
