Abstract: The investigation has provided information on two ditches. Although dated by small and abraded quantities of pottery, it was likely that one of these ditches was Iron Age and the other Roman. The nature of the finds, deposits within the ditches and absence of isolated features such as post holes and pits in their vicinity strongly suggested that they were located some considerable distance from settlement. The evaluation suggested that Roman peripheral settlement remains were present in the eastern most 60m of the study area. The area in between was been evaluated by ten trenches and no archaeological features or finds were located. [Au(adp)]
