Abstract:		 An archaeological trial-trench evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of 25 residential dwellings. Seven trenches were excavated across the markedly sloping site, located at the postulated southern periphery of the Roman town. The remains of an east-west aligned ditch, running just below a natural break of slope in the local topography, was found close to the northern edge of the site. Backfilled during the early 2nd century AD, this ditch is interpreted as probably marking the formal southern limit of the Roman settlement. A later re-cut, backfilled by the end of the 2nd century, contained a human cremation burial within its upper fill. No evidence of Roman activity was found to the south of the ditch. Residual Middle Iron Age pottery hints at activity preceding the Roman town. A high degree of Victorian and modern disturbance was recorded across the rest of the site.
