Abstract:		 On the basis of evidence obtained from an evaluation on the site in December 1996 further archaeological investigation was undertaken on the site. The previous evaluation had identified remains which suggested an area of Romano-British settlement activity. An area was stripped by machine and cleaned by hand to determine whether the Romano-British remains spread further into the site. Most of the remains identified were investigated by selective excavation. Evidence was recovered for at least two timber structures, one of which was probably a building, a chalk platform, and for a number of ditches dating from at least three phases of activity. Many of the features contained late Roman pottery, and in one posthole a small bronze coin was found minted during the reign of the Emperor Constans in the period AD 337 - 348. It was probable that most of the archaeological features investigated in the area dated to the mid to late 4th century. When the evidence was considered together with the results of a geophysical survey conducted in early 1996, it could be suggested that the road corridor development passed through the edge of a Romano-British settlement centred on the crest of a low hill to the east.
