Abstract:		 In June and July 2004 an archaeological evaluation comprising 17 trenches (600m in total) was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. The work was carried out in advance of the construction on an infrastructure road corridor area. Struck flint was recovered from the ploughsoil dating to the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods. The excavations also revealed seven ditches which probably represent a field system. The only material recoverd from these features were struck flint also dating to the Mesolithic / Early Neolithic periods. As field systems date from the later prehistoric period onwards in this region, the flints are therefore probably residual, but the possibility that the ditches are Early Neolithic, and not in a field system, should not be ruled out. Two pits were also recorded which might have been related to the field system.
