Abstract:		 The excavation revealed a narrow swathe of Iron Age occupation encompassing both open and partially enclosed settlement components. Although a Neolithic and Bronze Age presence was indicated by residual flint work. During the Iron Age a small settlement comprising two single-phase roundhouses were framed by a loosely bounded enclosure to the west and a long segmented boundary ditch to the east. Together these ditches bisected the development area, creating a narrow corridor of settlement features. A small group of early Iron Age pottery, a rubbing stone and a burnt bone comb were recovered. During the middle Iron Age, settlement developed along the foot-print of the earlier boundaries. The western enclosure was re-cut and periodically re-worked, whilst a small new trapezoidal enclosure was constructed on the western end of the former segmented ditch line. This enclosure was re-worked on at least one occasion. The area around produced pits yielding a variety of objects including dumps of Scored Second ware pottery, a complete rotary quern, a minimum of 11 triangular loom weights, and several complete iron objects.
