Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation at this site in advance of a housing development defined pits and graves within trenches 5 and 6. With the exception of Pit F1024, the majority of the pits were undated or contained sparse Roman pottery. The presence of such pits may be consistent with peripheral activity around the large Roman settlement identified 300m to the north. Pit F1007 (Trench 5) contained a small fragment (1g) of copper alloy Roman bracelet. Partially inter-cutting graves were recorded at the eastern end of Trench 6. Grave F1026 had been disturbed and partially truncated, and the human remains were recorded and lifted. The grave included the significant proportion of a central Gaulish Samian ware cup, dated to the 2nd century AD, which is conspicuously well-preserved in comparison with other Roman pottery sherds from the site, thus may have been a grave good associated with the skeleton. Graves F1028 and F1034 appear to preserve in situ inhumation burials (the former extending beyond the trench), and the skeletons were not excavated, pending subsequent investigations. ?Graves F1030 and F1032, uppermost in the stratigraphic sequence, appeared significantly disturbed and no evidence of human remains was recorded within them. Sparse Roman urned cremations and inhumations have previously been recorded at Sicklesmere, and these graves appear to supplement them as part of the funerary evidence located on or beyond the southern extent of the Roman settlement. The earliest find comprised a single flint blade, potentially of early Neolithic origin, contained as residual material in Grave F1026 (Trench 6).
