Abstract:		 A total of 245 trenches were excavated across the development area, following a more limited evaluation. Features in the form of ditches, post holes and occasional buried soil horizons dating from the Bronze Age to the post-medieval periods were evident. Bronze Age activity was represented by a few scattered features located across the landscape. Intensive activity located to the Late Bronze Age and Iron Age was recorded at the site of an enclosed settlement, as well as a ring-ditch. Further isolated Iron Age features were also identified. Occupation and specialist production dating to the Late Iron Age or Roman periods was identified, as well as later Roman agricultural activity. A possible bustum nearby was indicitative of funerary activity. An Anglo-Saxon trackway was the only evidence for activity dating to this period, while medieval and post-medieval ridge and furrow and field boundaries were present across the entire site. [Au(abr)]
