Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out as part of a planning application for the residential development of the site. The work followed a previous desk-top assessment which found that the site lay within a landscape rich in prehistoric activity, including many finds of Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age date and, together with its location on topographically and geologically favourable ground, it was considered that, although parts of the site had been disturbed, the potential for the existence of buried remains of this date was relatively high. The evaluation comprised the excavation of nine hand-dug test pits, three trial trenches, and an assessment and basic recording of the standing buildings. No significant archaeological features or deposits were located during the evaluation. Evidence for the earliest activity at the site was demonstrated by finds of flint artefacts comprising a blade fragment and two small multi-platform cores of probable of Early Neolithic date. The other flint artefacts recovered were undiagnostic flakes. Given the greater density of finds dating to this period in the surrounding area these finds were not thought to have been of particular significance. The recording of the standing buildings was considered to have been at a sufficient level of recording for buildings of this type and date. [Au(abr)]
