Abstract:		 The evaluation identified a low density of archaeological remains within the proposed development area. Excepting an undated pit in Trench 15, these were concentrated in two parts of the site. Prehistoric remains survive in the central part of the development area, comprising the seemingly incomplete remains of a ring ditch and a pit, while medieval remains are present at the southern end of the development area and are indicative of activity alongside London Road. The earliest recorded remains comprised a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age pit at the north-west end of Trench 10. A curvilinear ditch revealed in adjacent Trench 9 is taken to represent the ring ditch predicted from cropmark evidence. The two features together suggest an area of possible funerary activity during the late prehistoric period. The only other remains predating the modern period were represented by a scatter of medieval features seen in trenches 20, 21 and 22, at the south end of the site. These comprised a large possible quarry pit, a smaller pit, a ditch and a posthole, and collectively indicative of some form of activity alongside London Road during the medieval period. The fairly broad date range provided by the pottery from these features spans the 12th - 14th century in Trench 20 and the 14th to 16th century in Trench 22 and while they may be settlement related, possibly associated with a plot fronting on to London Road, the features may also include roadside quarry pits in which domestic rubbish has been dumped.
