Abstract:		 A programme of pre-construction field evaluation was carried out across the site of the proposed Palmerston Golf Course at Brocket Hall in order to fulfil a condition upon planning permission. Nineteen trial trenches of between 25m and 50m in length, and 1.6m to 1.8m wide were excavated. Evidence was recovered to indicate human exploitation of the landscape from the Neolithic to the present day. Two sites of particular interest were highlighted. Site 1 lay in the central northern part of the developement and trenches excavated in this area contained pits, post holes and ditches indicating a settlement. Pottery and other finds were also recovered and together these suggested a date range for occupation spanning the early to late Iron Age (c. 800BC to AD43). Site 2 lay some 500m to the south and excavated trenches contained a similer range of archaeological features, again indicating settlement. The pottery recovered, however, suggested a Roman date of between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. The identification of the sites during field evaluation enabled some details of the course design to be amended to protect the archaeological remains. [Au(adp)]
