Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay adjacent to the site of a Roman fort. No archaeological features were revealed. However, artefacts recovered from the surface and from the topsoil suggested that the land had formed part of the early field systems around the Roman encampment and later medieval settlement. Finds included three prehistoric struck flints, twenty very abraded sherds of Romano-British pottery, ten possible medieval sherds, thirty-nine post-medieval sherds, modern pottery, glass and brick, and a fragment of whetstone which may have been Roman or medieval. The results of the evaluation suggested that settlement had been based on the gravel knoll to the north of the site, and that the alluvial river plain had been used only for agricultural purposes. It was concluded that a watching brief during groundworks might be an appropriate mitigation response for the site. [AIP]
