Abstract:		 Work on the area of a proposed attentuation pond commenced with a watching brief during SI works which revealed no features of significance, and was subsequnetly followed by a phase of strip, map and sample monitoring of the area. This revealed around 60 post and pit features with at least two possible structures represented and what appeared to be a curvilinear enclosure feature; following consultation with WoSAS, it was agreed that the area of stripping be extended in the north and north-east areas in order to further clarify and reveal any further features here. Subsequent stripping revealed further features including a roundhouse structure situated internally to the enclosure, and what appeared to be three distinct linear stone features which postdate the enclosure, along with further pit and posthole features. Altogether around 85 individual features were investigated across the site. Dating evidence recovered includes sherds of Neolithic pottery, including a substantial portion of a vessel, lithics and a complete stone macehead, along with several fragments of worked and quern stone; these mostly range in likely date from the Iron Age and potentially the early historic period, providing tentative dates for associated features, with the enclosure and internal structure likely representing some of the earlier phases of activity on the site.
