Abstract:		 A previous archaeological evaluation on the site, carried out by the Heritage Network, demonstrated the survival of a low density of features dating to the prehistoric period. These were located at the eastern end, in Plots 6 and 7 of the new development. Two further phases of archaeological work were undertaken as part of the mitigation strategy. The first phase consisted of an open area archaeological excavation of the building footprints for Plots 6 and 7. This revealed two features, including a Late Bronze/Early Iron Age butt ended ditch, aligned broadly northwest-southeast, which ran across the middle of the site. A natural silty hollow, which extended eastwards and southwards beyond the limits of the site, was also investigated in the south eastern corner of the excavation trench. It contained six unurned cremations and a scatter of cremated bone. Although no artefacts were recovered to date the cremations, they have been assigned to the late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age on the basis of their relationship with the butt-ended ditch The second phase consisted of the monitoring of the excavation of the footings trenches for the garage in Plot 5. No archaeological features or deposits were identified in this area. On the basis of these findings it is suggested that the present site lies on the periphery of prehistoric activity identified to the north.
