Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated within the footprints of the proposed development (for a new motor showroom and service compound). All trenches revealed a sequence of concrete and 20th century make-up above an agricultural horizon capping naturally deposited gravel. Trench 3 revealed a sequence of 6 ditches and two pits or post holes of late medieval/early post-medieval date. The earliest ditch appeared to have been dug primarily for drainage purposes rather than as a boundary per se, and this was the probable function of the later ones as well. The site appeared to have been marginal, boggy land in this period. The report concluded that no further archaeological work would be required on the present engineering proposals. [Au(adp)]
