Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. A Roman road ran along its eastern limit, whilst a nearby church dated back to the 11th century and contained pieces of Roman brick within its fabric. An undated iron spearhead had been found in the churchyard, and a sherd of 6th-7th century pottery had been found near the church. During the evaluation, the base of a truncated feature, possibly a post-hole, which had been sealed by 20th century material was recorded. Three small pits containing post-medieval artefacts, including 18th century pottery, tile fragments and a halfpenny dated 1729-39, were also revealed. It was concluded that construction of the former church hall on the site and the use of the land to the rear had effectively removed any archaeological deposits pre-dating the 17th century. It was noted that as no indication of occupational activity had been observed, it was probable that the medieval/post-medieval settlement had been centred to the south-east of the site, around the church.
