Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology in october 2011 for Bluebird Lane and Planning Ltd on behalf of their client ahead of an application for planning permission to develop the site for residential purposes. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey of the site was conducted earlier in October 2011 and revealed numerous linear anomalies, some of which formed field divisions and a group of curvilinear anomalies that may relate to a multiple ditch system of possible prehistoric date. Based on this geophysical results; a total of fourteen trial trenches were excavated and eight of these produced archaeological features and deposits. Sixteen unstratified worked flints of late neolithic to early bronze age date were recovered. Although these flints came from an unstratified topsoil context they contribute to the understanding of the location and nature of prehistoric activity in the immediate vicinity of the site. Human skeletal remains and early Iron Age pottery dating to 7th-6th centuries BC were recovered from an exploited hollow of possible natural origin which may also contain a buried soil. Another significant feature- possibly a put or sunken featured building- was locate west of the Devil's Dyke and produced a quantity of Early saxon pottery of 6th-century date, typical of urns sometimes found in association with both cremation and inhumation burials. The ditches recorded during the trial trenching phase correspond with the geophysical results; however the majority were updatable due to lack of finds and stratigraphy.
