Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation revealed tentative evidence of possible Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age activity. The main periods of occupation were the Iron Age when a series of ditches which possibly enclosed a cremation cemetery were revealed together with postholes and pitting, and the Saxon when 17 sunken featured buildings with associated pitting were located, across the eastern part of the site. Medieval activity consisted of possible field and boundary ditches. Numerous military finds from the late 18th and 19th century attested to the use of the area as a military camp from 1794. Across the western part of the site were the remains of postholes, services and middens associated with numerous huts that were constructed during the First World War when the camp was greatly expanded to become a training and staging camp for soldiers on their way to the trenches on the continent.
