Abstract:		 A trial trench evaluation was carried out in advance of the construction of a new crematorium. Eight trenches (total area 850 sq. m) were excavated, representing approximately 6% of the area of the proposed development. The site is within an area of managed woodland that has existed since at least the early 19th century. The geological sequence comprises glacio-fluvial sand and gravel sealed in places by loessic deposits. Soil profiles vary from typical Brown Earths overlying the loess to woodland podzols in the areas of sand and gravel. Two archaeological features were identified - a localised deposit containing Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age (Beaker) pottery and a 19th-century ditch. The prehistoric pottery assemblage contains 886 sherds from at least 13 vessels and is thought to represent either a midden-type deposit or the fill at the base of a highly truncated pit. The ditch corresponds to a boundary line shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1880. A subsequent monitoring of groundwork during development revealed no further archaeological features. Five sherds of prehistoric pottery were recovered as surface finds in an area of disturbed ground at the north end of the site.
