Abstract:		 The excavation was undertaken prior to the proposed extension and redevelopment of car parking areas. Fengate was an area of high archaeological importance, with evidence for occupation spanning from the Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman periods. The site was machine stripped down to firstly, the buried palaeosoil, and secondly, the natural gravels. Results showed that the buried soil had remained relatively well intact, varying in thickness across the site, possibly due to later overcutting prior to building works. Areas 1 had been largely disturbed, although some archaeology had remained in context. Area 2, on the other hand, remained protected beneath the buried soil and produced artefacts such as pottery, flint, bone, burnt cornbrash and an antler needle from features such as refuse pits, stake holes, a potential hearth, and possible 'pit complex'. Other non-archaeological features such as tree bowls and animal burrows were also quite frequent, especially for such a small area. [Au(abr)]
