Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out within two fields proposed for the site of a new school. Several Roman villa sites had been recorded in the surrounding area, whilst a geophysical survey of the proposal area had revealed anomalies thought to represent a ring feature, pits and linear and curvilinear features. During the evaluation, two possible ring features which may have represented ploughed out Bronze Age barrows were recorded. Other evidence included ditches, two small annular features c. 140m in diameter, small pits or post holes, and stake holes. Those in one of the two fields lay below 1.2m of hillwash, which suggested some antiquity. No dateable finds were recovered from the features, but it was suggested that they may have been agricultural features associated with the site of a Roman villa 150m to the south-east. Evidence of medieval to modern land drains and a grubbed-out field boundary of unknown date were also observed. [Au(adp)]
