Abstract:		 During an evaluation, large quantities of artefacts, particularly Iron Age pottery, were recovered. Radiocarbon dating tentatively placed an important group of features, including a rectangular enclosure and pit group, in the Middle Bronze Age with two ring ditches apparently being earlier (although the artefacts from the rectangular enclosure and pit group may alternatively have suggested an Early Bronze Age date). The Iron Age artefacts functioned between 50BC and 70AD with the Roman site having its origins in the Flavian period, after c.69AD. Collectively, the orientation and alignment of the prehistoric sites may have suggested a zone of early landscape clearance and communication running north-west to south-east through the central area of the evaluation site. Despite clear indications of remnant ridge and furrow in both the aerial photography and geophysical surveys, this survived poorly below the ground. There was no evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity.
