Abstract:		 The Archaeological work revealed features dating from the late Bronze Age to the late Iron Age and early Romano-British transition, thought to represent the remains of field systems and possible farmstead settlement, reflecting the changes to landscape use throughout this period. Four cremations of late Bronze Age to early Iron Age date, and a single cremation of late Iron Age to early Roman date were identified. This latter consisted of a single individual aged between 5 - 10 years old. Finds recovered from the investigations comprised pottery of late Bronze Age to early Roman date consistent with short-lived low density domestic usage with activity peaking in the decades either side of the Roman conquest. Flint tools and burnt stone from the site also suggest later prehistoric and early Roman technologies and fragmentary remains of animal bone intimate that cattle were being kept for their meat.
