Abstract:		 During the first phase of work archaeological features were encountered within two of the trenches with Trench 2 containing what appeared to be several large pits. Trench 2 was widened to reveal the full extent of the archaeology visible in the trench. A further (much smaller) extension to Trench 3 was necessary to fully reveal a complete cow burial uncovered in the Trench. Within the widened area of Trench 2 further substantial pits were discovered including a probable retting pit, as well as a small number of post holes and linear features. These were dated to the late medieval and post medieval periods; an assemblage of post medieval pottery as well as a small number of residual and moderately abraded medieval sherds was recovered from the excavated features. A large sub-circular pit or pond was uncovered near the centre of the excavation area. This contained a large quantity of modern material including glass, china, brick and tile, slate and metal objects. The second phase of work took place on arable land (formerly part of Tithe Barn Farm) located to the south of the school premises. Eleven trenches were excavated, at least two of which contained evidence for prehistoric settlement, in the immediate vicinity: a pit cluster, dated to the Early Iron Age, was discovered in Trench 14 and a curvilinear gully was revealed in Trench 15. Both of these trenches were extended to reveal, within reasonable limits, the full extent of the archaeology. Three other trenches contained undated features which may be prehistoric in date. Towards the east side of the evaluation a headland of ridge and furrow agriculture was present in the field. Three trenches were positioned over this feature It was excavated both by hand and machine and was found to contain no artefacts; there was no evidence for further archaeological features beneath it.
