Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An evaluation demonstrated that most of the proposed development area is devoid of archaeological features or contains relatively recent features of negligible heritage value. Only Trenches 1 and 3, at the south-west of the development area, revealed anything of note; each contained one feature that produced Iron Age pottery. Subsequently, two stages of stripping were undertaken to map and record the extent of the Iron Age features. This has demonstrated that they comprise a small group of enclosure ditches and other features. These are considered to date from the early to middle Iron Age, on the grounds that the only datable artefacts (pottery) were all of that period. Within this timeframe, stratigraphic relationships suggested that many of the features could not have been contemporary, giving the impression of a site that was used repeatedly, possibly for relatively short periods separated by long periods of abandonment.
