Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out in two phases, with eight trenches being excavated in 2007 around the hospital buildings and a further six in 2008, to the south of the site, after delays due to environmental clearance, totalling 840m2. Whilst the trenching around the hospital buildings in 2007 showed that terracing of the land had place during construction, removing all archaeological deposits, two trenches from the 2008 phase, revealed considerable evidence for late Prehistoric occupation, with a number of pits, linears, postholes and two probable cremations cut into the natural clay. It is likely that the features relate to a farmstead and possible cremation cemetery, occupied during the Late Iron Age up until the early 1st century AD. With the majority of discoveries being confined to the very southern end of the site it is probable that part of the settlement was removed during the construction of the train line that runs to the south east. The depth of the features also indicated horizontal truncation through years of ploughing.
