Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Three evaluation trenches were excavated to investigate geomagnetic anomalies, located during a gradiometer survey within an area proposed for an extension to a quarry. Earlier evaluation had revealed a dense pattern of Late Iron Age/early Romano-British ditches, gullies and pits, including a substantial curving ditch enclosing an area of c. 0.5ha. During the 1997 evaluation, Trench 05 revealed a substantial depth of alluvium, sealing an organic clay interpreted as the fill of a palaeochannel. Trench 06 revealed ditches, pits and post-holes of several stratigraphic phases, some of which contained Romano-British pottery. The features had been truncated by fluvial erosion, which had also caused pottery to be eroded out, as indicated by the presence of Romano-British sherds in an adjacent channel fill. This redeposited material included a sherd of Iron Age scored ware, lending weight to the case for an Iron Age origin for this settlement. Trench 07 showed a cluster of geomagnetic anomalies to have correlated with tree-root penetration. No archaeological remains were observed, but the high density of comparable features which had been suggested by the gradiometer survey of the northern part of Stoneylands Close implied extensive woodland clearance over an unknown time period.
