| Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken in two contiguous stages. Previous evaluation had revealed evidence from the Mesolithic to Late Bronze Age/Iron Age and structural remains dating to the Late Iron Age to Post-medieval periods. Mesolithic, Late Bronze Age and Iron Age struck flints were recovered. An initial period of land clearance, followed by some limited evidence of settlement was hypothesised, broadly dated to the Late Iron Age or to the first few years of the Roman occupation. The lying out of another field system of slightly different alignment superseded the enclosure/field system and was subsequently abandoned in the first few decades of the Roman occupation. Following this no evidence for activity until the medieval period, when further agricultural activities occurred has been found. Cartographic sources show that during the post-medieval period the site had been developed for domestic or light industrial/retail use, represented by the remains of three basemented buildings and evidence of other external activities.
