Abstract:		 Trial trenching took place and demonstrated that, with the exception of a double-ditched enclosure, no significant archaeological remains were present within the Potential Development Area. Most of the archaeological features consisted of a series of medieval furrows and modern or post-medieval ditches which are probably associated with the current field boundary between land parcels 54 and 55. Several late 19th-century and modern field drains were also recorded. The location of the double-ditched enclosure was revealed by the geophysical survey and confirmed through the intrusive evaluation. It consisted of one continuous internal ditch, possibly representing two phases, and the terminus of a potential outer ditch that was intermittent in nature. Pottery retrieved from both features was early Iron Age in date. The borehole evaluation of the soil deposits revealed that the depth of the overburden ranges from 0.26-0.32m and overlies undisturbed sand deposits. At the bottom of the slope there is an additional layer of colluvium c. 0.36m thick between the overburden and the sand. Knowledge of the thickness of the overburden will make it easier to determine appropriate archaeological mitigation strategies, should they be required.
