Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out an evaluation in advance of redevelopment. Ten trenches were excavated in which evidence of two distinct phases of activity, Romano-British and medieval, was recorded. The Romano-British features, a four metre wide east - west aligned boundary ditch, two north - south ditches and a pit, were identified in Trenches 6 and 8 in the south-west corner of the site. The medieval features, a pit and three ditches, were in Trenches 1-3, to the north. Concrete slabs, possibly the roof of a Second World War air raid shelter, were exposed in Trench 8 but were not further investigated. Although no prehistoric features were noted, some residual worked flints were recovered from the 0.50m deep subsoil which extended over most of the site. Evidence of truncation, levelling and landscaping were noted in the three eastern trenches in the car park. The natural geology, brownish orange silty clay loam with bands of gravel, was partially exposed in all ten trenches.
