Abstract:		 Archaeological watching brief and excavation works revealed limited evidence for Prehistoric activity in the form of worked flints, which were datable to the Mesolithic and Neolithic/Bronze Age, along with later Prehistoric pottery. The remains of a 2nd-4th century AD Roman rural settlement, which comprised ditches/enclosures, pits and possible structures were also present within the study area. Although the Roman deposits had been significantly truncated by later quarrying, the presence of frequent, discrete areas of preservation allowed for the identification of at least two phases of settlement activity/layout, with evidence for landscape management in the form of ditch re-cuts. A substantial number of possible clay quarry pits were tentatively dated to the Medieval period. The pits extended along the route of proposed new roads for at least 300m and possibly represented significant evidence for medium/large scale industrial activity, such as pottery production.
