Abstract:		 Three small areas were excavated in advance of a housing development. These revealed traces of Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement and landscape features, illustrating a degree of continuity of layout across the two phases. Boundary ditches defined land divisions, apparently all part of a single system extending at least 350m along a terrace edge. Clustering close to these boundaries, isolated pits characterised the two northern areas of site, while the southern area was occupied by structures and a dense concentration of pits of both periods. There was no evidence of ritual activity except for a tiny secondary deposit of cremation pyre debris in a ditch fill. The chronology was not particularly clear, but it was possible that both phases fell into the transition from Bronze Age to Iron Age, in the 8th century BC. A few finds from the 1st century BC/AD seemed to be later intrusions. [Au]
