Abstract:		 Compass Archaeology conducted a watching brief during groundworks carried out on the summit of Parliament Hill to improve drainage. The works comprised four linear trenches between 250mm and 850mm deep, and predominantly 250mm wide. In the central trench, Trench 2, linear feature [208] crossed the trench on a SW-NE alignment, approximately 160mm deep. The feature appeared to end as a rounded terminus at the SW end and contained 72 sherds of Late-Bronze Age / Early Iron Age pottery and two worked flints. The feature lies within a wider prehistoric landscape and may prove of considerable significance if subjected to further investigation. Other periods represented included two fragments of Roman ceramic building material; one box flue tile and the other a possible tegula roof tile or alternatively a repurposed box flue tile. In addition an area of brick surface immediately below existing ground level built from early-20th century material bearing the 'Phorpres' stamp and interpreted as a potential platform to house a truck-mounted anti-aircraft gun, or arc light during the First World War, or some form of beacon to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
