Abstract: Evaluation on a site proposed for mineral extraction comprised a number of approaches. Scatters of worked and unworked flint fragments probably of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date, residual quantities of Roman and medieval pottery and a large even distribution of post-medieval pottery across the site indicative of manuring were recovered during fieldwalking. Test-pitting revealed one undated feature and recovered a low densities of abraded medieval, post-medieval and modern pottery. An area of ridge and furrow earthworks was surveyed which were shown to obscure lesser features. Geophysical survey focussing on cropmarks identified on aerial photographs identified a number of anomalies, but no focus of intensive archaeological activity was located. [AIP]
