Abstract:		 One hundred and twenty nine archaeolgoical evaluation trenches, each 2m by 20m, were excavated across the site of proposed mineral extraction. A total of 82 features were recorded during the evaluation. Although they indicated a concentration to the south of the site, this was proably due to the level of the natural ground surface which was lower, thus allowing greater survival of archaeological features, below the level of ploughing. To the north, only the bases of deeply cut features survived. The archaeological remains indicated the presence of prehistoric activity. A Bronze Age field system on a northeast-southwest alignment, with a possible droveway ditch was uncovered. This may have been associated with two possible fence lines. A Bronze Age land surface with a nearby cooking pit and rubbish pit was thought to represent some form of settlement activity associated with the field systems. A cremationburial at the northern end of the site indicated that religious or ceremonial burial practises were being carrid out in this area. The northern end of the site was found to contain several east-west field ditches and ploughmarks. These were on a similar alignment to modern ceramic field drains noted in some of the trenches, and were probably of post-medieval date, representing a change in alignment of the field system.
