Abstract:		 No archaeological remains were encountered during monitoring works. Topsoil was stripped using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Clean natural geology was encountered between 0.20 and 0.30m below the existing ground surface and consisted of a yellow chalky clay in the southern part of the site, and an orangey-brown silty clay to the north. Field and mole drains criss-crossed the northern half of the proposed development, while plough scars and converging wheel ruts marked both the silt and clay. The shallow depth at which undisturbed clay was encountered, coupled with a lack of subsoil build-up, means that any shallow archaeological remains are likely to have been disturbed by ploughing and it seems likely that only deeper features would survive if present in the immediate vicinity. A small number of finds were recovered from the interface between the topsoil and the clay, comprising a residual prehistoric flint scraper, a fragment of peg tile and a small abraded sherd of pottery. In addition to the above, scattered across the surface of the ploughed field were large quantities of abraded tile of undetermined date, which were not recovered.
