Abstract:		 Between 2010 and 2011 archaeological work was undertaken in advance of construction of a Pressure Reduction Installation, as part of the Felindre to Tirley natural gas pipeline scheme. The remains uncovered during this work ranged in date from the prehistoric through to the post-medieval period with an apparent focus of activity centred around the Roman period. Flint tools indicated that there had been either low density or transient activity taking place within the proposed development area from the middle Neolithic period through to the early Bronze Age. Whilst there was some evidence of early Roman agriculture, it was sometime during the 2nd /3rd century AD that activity within the Tirley site intensified when a rectilinear enclosure and a more extensive rectilinear field system was installed. The enclosure probably represented a boundary surrounding a small domestic dwelling. From the pottery evidence, it appeared that the dwelling was probably occupied from around the 2nd century through to the early 3rd century AD. The evidence uncovered indicated a low status farmstead operating at a level just above subsistence. Sometime between the early and mid 3rd century AD the site was abandoned, likely due to combination of factors. This period of abandonment continued through to at least the medieval period when ridge and furrow became established, indicating renewed arable activity. From this time onwards, the Tirley site appears to have been used as agricultural land.
