Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Trial trenching was undertaken in advance of the proposed development and revealed significant archaeological remains, including a group of pits, one of which contained the poorly preserved remains of a horse's skull placed on a collection of cobbles before being carefully covered by a layer of pottery. The structure and nature of these placed deposits was reminiscent of the late Neolithic. The date range for the materials indicated deposition during the Early Bronze Age, giving significant evidence for the tradition of symbolic placement of artefacts on the site. The presence of 'Beaker' pottery in association with the horse cranium was a highly significant discovery. Additional remains consisted of a series of ditches attributed to the Mid/Late Iron Age, although no artefactual material was recovered to support this interpretation. Most of the ditches encountered represented field boundaries or drainage ditches. There was a striking lack of finds from the Romano-British period, compared to similar sites. Evidence of two distinct phases of ridge and furrow cultivation were also recorded. [Au(abr)]
