Abstract:		 Archaeological investigation revealed a complex series of in excess of 150 postholes, along with a number of linear features and pits. All features were of Post-medieval date with a date range from the early Eighteenth - late Twentieth century. The majority of these features are believed to be associated with the use of the site for a large variety of events including County Fairs, Military Tattoos and Scout Jamborees. Two distinct phases separated by a thick layer of silt material deposited during the periodic flooding of the site were identified. The underlying natural geology was not reached during excavation and the material at the base of the excavated area was flood deposited silt.
