Abstract:		 The evaluation revealed activity relating to three broad periods; prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval. The majority of the features were linear ditches, although several pits and postholes were also recorded. The prehistoric activity comprised limited concentrations of Early Neolithic flintworking indicative of potential activity in the immediate area. A small quantity of flints of Bronze Age - Iron Age date, coupled with three residual sherds of Early Iron Age pottery from within Trenches 7-10 highlight the potential for a phase of activity relating to this period. The features are in keeping with agricultural activity associated with the edge of settlement. Romano-British material was equally scarce, with five sherds of pottery and a single fragment of Roman glass, however, the majority of features are considered to relate to this period based on the known settlement remains located immediately north and northeast of the evaluation site. The features identified in the evaluation likely represent peripheral field systems and enclosures for livestock and / or crop. Three sherds of medieval pottery recovered from one of the ditches alongside the remains of furrows identified in the geophysics and within some trenches highlight agricultural activity on site during this period.
