Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations in Extraction Phase 9 revealed a large ditched enclosure of Iron Age date. No evidence for an associated bank or rampart inside the ditch was found, although some stone revetting survived on the inner side of the ditch terminals. Stone packed post holes indicated an elaborate gateway structure on the eastern side of the enclosure. A central round-house was represented by an extended banana gully, unfortunately badly truncated by modern machinery. In the north-western corner of the enclosure, an activity area was demarcated by a short length of ditch which closed across the corner. A small group of pits within this area spread towards the enclosure entrance. A further linear arrangement of pits lay inside the northern arm of the enclosure. Pottery from the ditch, the pits and the round-house banana gully indicated that they all dated from the Iron Age. An enclosed annexe was constructed on the eastern side of the enclosure during the Roman period. A further gully to the north of the annex probably represented part of a contemporary field system.
