Abstract:		 To inform the background for a proposed planning application, a trial trench archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Cliff Road, Welton, targeted on magnetic anomalies identified by a preceding geophysical survey. The site lies to the west of the historic core of the village, sandwiched between this and the fresh water source of Old Man's Head spring. Prehistoric activity in the area is poorly understood and restricted to a small number of stone and flint tools, and a possible enclosure to the north of the village. Settlement developed in the Roman period, with building remains indicating high status structures identified less than 200m to the east and southwest of the site. Saxon occupation has been confirmed less than 200m southeast of the site boundary, and an early Saxon cemetery was revealed during works on Saxon House, c. 50m east of the site along Cliff Road. The medieval village likely focused around the parish church, which is also within 500m of the site, with the surrounding area being focused on agriculture. The geophysical survey of the site area was largely ambiguous, with possible furrows aligning with existing site boundaries. Two discrete anomalies were interpreted as possible pits, with a possible ditch extending across the west side of the site. Just one of the features revealed in the trenching was confirmed as a furrow, with dating suggesting a post-medieval use of these features. Several small ditches, gullies and pits were also revealed, but no dating evidence was recovered from any of these features. It is considered these features relate to agricultural activity on the periphery of the village.
