Abstract:		 Five phases of activity were identified: Phase 1 (middle Iron Age), Phase 2 (late 2nd-3rd century AD), Phase 3 (early to mid 3rd Century AD), Phase 4 (late 3rd-4th century AD) and Phase 5 (18th century). Six excavation phases were carried out. Phase 1 was attested by just three features (a ditch and two pits). The Phase 2 (late 2nd-3rd century AD) site was focussed around a droveway. A ditched rectangular enclosure to the north-west of the droveway was later enlarged and subdivided, and an aisled timber building, with an adjoining right-angled post alignment, was constructed in this enclosed space. These features suggest the site was used for sorting and holding livestock. Deposits of tap slag suggest smelting activity occurred locally, if not on-site. The site became a centre for pottery production in the early-mid 3rd century AD (Phase 3). Four pottery kilns, a T-shaped drying oven, a workshop with a heated drying room, and another related building were discovered. The droveway was modified at this time, the ditches were recut and a line of posts erected which would have restricted access to and visibility of the production site. The kilns are thought to have been abandoned around this time - archaeomagnetic dating of one of them sets this date at c. AD 250. Small-scale deposits of tap slag suggest the site retained its association -to a much lesser degree - with iron smelting. Phase 4 represents the demolition of the pottery production site, which was deliberately levelled, in the late 3rd-4th century. Features of this date contained significant quantities of iron-smelting slag, indicating intensified industrial activity probably focused to the south and/ or south-west of the pottery production site, outside the excavated area.
