Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed two sites, a 2nd -4th century AD Romano-British roadside settlement and a 11th to 14th century AD medieval site in advance of the proposed A140 bypass. The two sites were assessed by 26 40m x 1.8m evaluation trenches, 22 trenches on the Romano-British site, and 4 trenches on the medieval Site. On the Romano-British site, archaeological features consisted of deposits of 'dark earth', middens, smithing slags, two tracks with metalled flint surfaces, pits, gullies, and ditches. These features appeared to represent roads, 'back-yards' of the settlement and fields beyond the settlement. The medieval features, centred around a hollow way, consisted of small gullies, dated to the 11th-14th centuries, a series of shallow pits, shallow ditches flanking a depression and a pit cutting the centre of this depression. The depression was thought to be another hollow way running east from the main track. [Au(adp)]
