Abstract:		 Trial excavations were undertaken in response to a geophysical survey within Octon Crossroads. The landscape surrounding Octon Crossroads contained a wealth of archaeological remains. Aerial photographic evidence had demonstrated that the proposed development area lay within a concentration of prehistoric barrows and a possible henge, together with Late Iron Age to Romano-British settlement features. The trenches were placed over linear anomalies identified by the geophysical survey. Unfortunately the features were identified as being infilled geological anomalies. Nothing of archaeological significance was revealed elsewhere within the other trenches. A programme of fieldwalking was also instigated which revealed a small collection of flint tools and flint working debris which dated between the Late Mesolithic period and the Early Bronze Age, with the majority of the flints dating from the Middle to Late Neolithic period. In addition a piece of prehistoric and a piece of medieval pottery was revealed. A watching brief was also undertaken which failed to reveal anything of archaeological significance. [AIP]
