Abstract:		 The evaluation identified eight distinct areas of activity, most of which dated to the Later Iron Age and Earlier Roman periods. These areas correspond well with those suggested by the geophysical survey, but appear to bear little relationship to the geological or topographical setting. Six areas of predominantly Later Iron Age date appeared to represent small farmsteads. Finds from these sites comprised largely pottery and animal bone. Charred cereal grains and chaff were recovered from the environmental samples taken from these features. The two remaining areas differed in character and dated to the Earlier Roman period. One was characterised by a large number of ditches, postholes and pits from which a substantial assemblage of pottery, comprising largely storage jars and kitchen wares, was recovered. In addition, a copper alloy brooch of immediately pre-conquest date was found within the subsoil. This site seems to be a farmstead, on a larger scale to the Iron Age examples already noted. The second area of Roman activity is more enigmatic. No structural features were identified, but a substantial pottery assemblage, comprising fine wares and kitchen wares, was found within ditches. In addition, a sunken-featured building containing pottery of 5th to 9th century AD date was excavated. This suggests some continuity of land use beyond the Roman period. Of particular interest is an Early Saxon iron bell, also recovered from the sunken-featured building. Overall this evaluation suggests an interesting archaeological landscape, which could offer insights into the Iron Age to Roman transition.
