Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief during an extension to the existing quarry revealed the substantial remains of prehistoric and Roman features. Subsequent excavation identified a Neolithic pit alignment of likely ritual significance. A relatively prolonged period of inactivity followed until the late Roman period when two stone built structure were constructed. Excavation of these features revealed that they represented T-shaped and H-shaped corn-drying ovens, which contained a substantial charred grain assemblage. Analysis of the achaeolobotanical remains indicated their use for drying and germination of grain. The pottery assemblage recovered from these features dated their demolition to the later 3rd to the late 4th century AD. Tentative evidence suggested that they may have formed ancillary buildings to a larger complex, possibly a villa, which may have been preserved to the west of the current excavations. [Au(adp)]
