Abstract:		 Trial trenching was carried out in order to investigate a geophysical anomaly and artefact concentrations associated with a possible Roman occupation site. Evidence of both prehistoric and Roman settlement activity was revealed. This included field boundaries and rubbish pits dating from the Late Iron Age, Roman rubbish pits, and two parallel ditches which represented the remains of a Roman field system which had still been in use up to the late 4th century AD. Although the evaluation did not uncover any structural evidence of farm buildings or a villa, the character of the materials, which included roof tile, nails and daub, and the size of the pottery assemblage, combined with the wealth of ceramic evidence and coins recovered over the years, suggested that a settlement site such as a small farmstead had been present at the southern end of Shillingstone Field. The anomaly identified by resistivity survey was found to have been caused by a change in the natural geology rather than by archaeological activity. [Au(abr)]
