Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out in advance of residential development, at a site where trial trenching had identified two areas containing significant archaeological deposits. Within Area 1, ditches were recorded which had been interpreted as elements of a prehistoric enclosure or enclosure system, together with possible post-hole- and pit-type features. Pottery of probable Late Iron Age date had been recovered from a re-cut of one of the ditches, whilst flint artefacts, including a scraper, were also recovered, indicating earlier prehistoric settlement. In Area 2, a probable enclosure ditch and possible pits and post-holes were revealed, suggesting a settlement focus. Pottery sherds and flint artefacts again indicated a prehistoric date. During the excavation, medieval plough furrows were identified cutting across earlier linear features, including a substantial ditch. The features found in both areas had clearly been very heavily truncated by the later agricultural activity. An updated report on the results of the excavation was to be produced following a full examination of the finds and environmental samples. [AIP]
