Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The evaluation demonstrated that remains and artefacts for the following chronological periods had survived within the Study Area: Roman and Saxon (phase 2) - boundary ditches and pits indicating rural settlement of these periods. Saxo-Norman (phase 3) a possible ploughsoil probably reflected the location of the Study Area outside of the main village during this period. The village boundary appeared to survive as an earthwork within the study area. Medieval (phase 4) - with the development of Spring Lane during this period the village extended up to St. Mary's Church. Boundaries, a building, pits and unspecific burning related activity were identified. Late medieval (phase 5) - an extensive deposit of possible ploughsoil may have reflected a return to agriculture associated with the 'shrinking' of the village. [Au(abr)]
