Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation of 11 trial trenches was undertaken, laid out to target geophysical anomalies.The evaluation identified two main phases of archaeological features. The earliest was a series of shallow ditches and pits dating to the Late Iron Age/Early Roman period. The ditches possibly form part of an enclosure and the recovery of significant amounts of burnt daub indicates the former presence of timber buildings, almost certainly roundhouses. The main medieval features on the site were two large negative features, interpreted as ditches aligned north-east to south-west and east to west, possibly forming the south-west portion of an enclosure. All of the finds from the features were sherds of pottery dating from the 13th-14th centuries and the features almost certainly relate to activity focused on the medieval ridgeway route and are probably associated with the moated settlement of Theobalds Farm, immediately to the west of the site. No archaeological features were identified in the northern most field, closest to Theobalds Road.
