Abstract:		 A trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology, comprising the excavation of 12 trenches, positioned to target geophysical anomalies. The majority of archaeological features identified during the evaluation relate to the agricultural history of the site and can be associated to either field boundaries marked on historical maps or an earlier undated field pattern on a slightly different alignment. Other undated features include three isolated postholes and a pit containing animal bones. A general scatter of medieval, post-medieval and modern finds are consistent with the history of agricultural activity on the site. A large ditch containing five pieces of worked flint and a neighbouring smaller ditch in the southeast of the development area may be the earliest features revealed on the site and are potentially of later prehistoric in date. The evaluation confirmed that an early enclosure does not exist/survive on the site, with the presence of the circular feature also uncertain, although if present, this is unlikely to be of any great antiquity.
