Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment and evaluation were undertaken prior to a proposed football stadium, car parking and access road. Twelve evaluation trenches were excavated. The known unclassified cropmark was found to be silted-up water courses of natural origin. In one trench the remains of raised surfaces consisting of redeposited clay were found, together with an area of large cobbles which may have been a wall or foundations, and industrial waste material. This evidence was interpreted as a possible area used for processing such as metal smithing. Five sherds belonging to one Samian vessel were found within the redeposited clay, as well as a possible fragment of Roman brick. In the same trench a piece of worked flint contained within organic material suggestive of bedding or flooring may indicate prior use of the site. Further investigation was proposed.
