Abstract:		 An archaeological trial-trenching evaluation was conducted at Kingswode Hoe School before the proposed construction of an extension to the north-east of the main school building. The school lies at the south-western edge of the nationally important Late Iron Age settlement at Sheepen, the pre-Roman capital of the Catuvellauni, which is protected as a scheduled monument (SM 57). Previous excavations conducted in the 1930s (Hawkes and Hull 1947) revealed a major Late Iron Age settlement north-east of the school, defended on its western side by the Sheepen Dyke, a large earthwork constructed in c. AD 10 and levelled following the Roman conquest of AD 43. An extension to the Sheepen Dyke, thought to have been added shortly before the Roman invasion, was projected by Hawkes and Hull as running immediately to the south-east of the proposed development area. One trench measuring 6m x 1.2m was excavated at right angles to the projected line of the Sheepen Dyke extension. The trench recorded a prehistoric pit and the south-eastern edge of a large Late Iron Age ditch whose fill contained pottery dated to the first half of the 1st century AD. This ditch is identified as part of the Sheepen Dyke extension, running 10m to the north-west of its projected line and across the south-east of the proposed extension. Despite the presence of modern disturbances, the Late Iron ditch has survived largely intact.
