Abstract:		 Excavations were carried out at a site which was located on the west side of London Road, a thoroughfare which ran roughly parallel with, and slightly to the west of, Roman Ermine Street. An earlier stage of archaeological investigations had involved a desk-based assessment, an earthwork survey and trial trenching. During the excavations, the earliest phase of activity identified was represented mainly by a pit containing 68 sherds of Neolithic/Bronze Age pottery and 550 fragments of worked flint. Further prehistoric pottery fragments and worked flint items were found within Romano-British contexts. During the first phase of Romano-British activity, which was dated to the 1st-2nd century, plot boundaries had been laid out parallel to Ermine Street. In the late 2nd to 3rd century, further ditched enclosures had been dug to the west of the road frontage. These enclosures had contained a timber-framed building, wells and other features, including rubbish pits and a number of hearths or ovens. In the final phase of Romano-British activity, dated to the late 3rd-4th centuries, the roadside enclosures had fallen out of use, and new roadside plots had been defined. Although the activity in this phase was marked by less intensive activity than the previous phase, further pits and industrial features, possibly including tanning pits, hearths and ovens, had been in use. Perhaps the latest Romano-British feature was a roadside ditch along the west side of Ermine Street. Later, in the medieval and post-medieval periods, the site had been used for agriculture.
