Abstract:		 The excavation of an area of 3.90ha at Honeypots Plantation was undertaken in response to the archaeological threat posed by a programme of mineral extraction on the site. Initial evaluation trenching had revealed the presence of pits, ditches, post holes and hut circles of Iron Age date. The immediate requirement for gravel, coupled with the presence of the features revealed during the evaluation, led to a stipulation by the Principal Landscape Archaeologist that excavation of the site must be carried out in tandem with quarrying operations. The fieldwork revealed prehistoric occupation of Neolithic and Bronze Age date and evidence for sequential Iron Age settlement on the site. This occupation took the form of round houses, four-post structures, pits, enclosure ditches, field systems, and three possible barrows. [Au(abr)]
