Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during machine levelling, and pits for thirty three stanchions were excavated by hand, prior to the extension of a covered yard area at a farm. The site lay within 80m of the main access to Cadbury Castle Iron Age Hillfort, and within 100m of an area where Romano-British activity had been discovered in 1966. Surface collection at the development site revealed a wealth of bone and Romano-British pottery. Cut features found during excavation included ditch segments, two post holes and unidentified scoops. The ditches had apparently silted up in the late 1st or early 2nd century AD. One section of ditch appeared to have either housed an oven-like structure or received virtually uncontaminated debris from one situated nearby. A long midden sequence followed this episode, the pattern being disrupted by construction of a cobbled surface and two substantial structures, interpreted as stone and clay ovens. Artefacts recovered included a small amount of Iron Age pottery, and Roman objects such as fragments of pottery, quern and glass, coins, an enamelled brooch and a shale bracelet. It was concluded that further work in the area might prove rewarding. [Au(adp)]
