Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This report presents the results of a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation on behalf of Gallagher Estates at a site designated for the construction of Whitehouse Secondary School. Fifty-seven trenches were opened on land utilised for arable (maize) production. Sixteen trenches contained features of varying archaeological significance, largely dating to the Iron Age and/ or Romano-British period and comprising ditches, pits and post/stake holes. Its proximity to significant Iron Age/Romano-British activity currently under investigation by Border Archaeology to the Northwest further emphasises the potential importance of the archaeology identified during the evaluation. Features and activity identified included: 1/ North-Northwest-South-Southeast aligned ditches traversing the northernmost field of the site that are suggestive of droveways or squared stock enclosures. 2/ Palaeoenvironmental evidence (particularly molluscan) suggesting a grazed grass environment at the time the fills were deposited. Dry pastoral land, with seasonally standing water in ditches, seems likely. 3/ Evidence for iron smithing, which correlated well to the previous geophysical survey, may hint at the function of (at least partly domestic) nearby activity/occupation. 4/ Post medieval ridge and furrow as noted on the geophysical survey.
