Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2015 at the request of Ashford Homes (South West) Limited at Land East of Fulwell Lane, Faulkland, Hemington, Somerset. The earliest evidence for activity comprised small quantities of residual flints suggestive of transient hunter-gatherer activity during the Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic period. A few sherds of later Iron Age pottery were also residual. The earliest cut features comprised two enclosures forming part of a Roman rural settlement. These were found in association with pottery, animal bone, charred plant remains and a small quantity of metalwork, slag and fired clay. Although no structural remains were found and only a very small quantity of ceramic building material, this range of finds is suggestive of occupation. The pottery assemblage indicates that this took place during the Early Roman period, up to c. AD 175/200. There were also three burials - two inhumations and one cremation. Following the deliberate infilling of the enclosure ditches, fields or enclosures were laid out with much shallower, intermittently surviving ditches, and the centre of habitation shifted beyond the site. There was little dating evidence for this phase, but it is suggested that these fields or enclosures were later Roman and they perhaps formed part of a nearby Roman villa estate. The site was truncated by later quarry pits which probably dated to the medieval and/or post-medieval periods.
