Abstract: Archaeological investigations were initiated by landscaping works for Public Open Space, in an area where a high concentration of archaeological features was already known from geophysical survey and aerial photography. The investigations took the form of an archaeological rapid recording action immediately prior to, and during, ground reduction. A sequence of super-imposed farmsteads was identified, which dated from the Early Iron Age through to the Late Roman period. The investigated features comprised enclosure ditches and the remains of three Early Iron Age round buildings and one Late Roman building. [Au(abr)]
