Abstract:		 A complex of pits, ditches and post-holes was interpreted as part of an Iron Age settlement which was replaced in the later Iron Age by a system of field ditches. Nearby, two Roman wells and part of a Roman field system were excavated and a portion of a small Roman cemetery recorded. In the Bronze Age this had been a funerary area with two ring-ditches and associated cremations (Wessex II and later). Relatively large quantities of seed remains, together with large amounts of animal bone, give indications of farming practices, husbandry and butchery. Weaving and metalworking were carried on, and a wooden ard came from a 3rd century Roman well. Changes in pottery production over the long Iron Age occupation are closely documented.
