Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed a few prehistoric finds and two shallow ditches of Early Iron Age date. The vast majority of features were of Early Romano-British date and were concentrated on the lower ground in or towards the valley floor. This concentration of features was interpreted as the north-western extent of the small Roman town of Vagniacae, with roads, walls and floors of buildings, yards and a cemetery amongst other features. Later Romano-British activity appeared to have been confined to enclosures on the higher ground to the east. No evidence of Saxon or medieval activity was found, and the only other archaeological features were of post-medieval date,being the remains of watercress beds. [Au(abr)]
