Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a football ground. Roman and Neolithic features, evidence of extensive Late Bronze Age settlement and a Bronze Age waterfront with timber structures had been recorded at nearby sites. Excavation of cropmark sites in the area had revealed Neolithic, Late Bronze Age and Saxon remains. During the evaluation, a possible palaeochannel containing late prehistoric pottery, a ditch containing Roman pottery and at least three other ditches or gullies were revealed. A shallow pit containing burnt flint and charcoal was also observed. The features were interpreted as evidence of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age riverside activity, and part of a Romano-British field or enclosure system. [Au(adp)]
