Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services concluded an archaeological evaluation of two proposed development sites, from 16th -21st January 2008. A magnetometer (gradiometer) survey was undertaken that found that more than half of the site was affected by magnetic 'clutter' from modern ferrous and other debris which had effectively masked underlying features. In areas where the ground survey proved relatively free of magnetic disturbance there was little evidence for features of obvious archaeological interest. Subsequently four trenches, totalling approximately 85 metres in length, were excavated to reveal the underlying natural geology. The land itself falls under two planning applications. Trench 1 deals with the planning application associated with the proposed Children's Centre, whilst Trenches 2-4 are relevant to planning application S/072088/SC, the anticipated new Medical Centre. For the purpose of this report both areas will be discussed together. However, the discussion and conclusion will be used to differentiate the two areas. Four potential features, two gullies and one possible ditch/large pit were revealed in Trench 1 and one potential shallow ditch/spread was revealed in Trench 3. Despite full excavation of the gullies within the confines of Trench 1, no dating evidence was recovered from either and only animal bone and one iron nail was unearthed in the ditch/large pit. The shallow ditch or spread in Trench 3 contained pottery dating to some time from the mid 12th century to late 14th century.
