Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East were commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation. A total of 40 archaeological trenches were excavated across the site to reveal the underlying natural sand clay with outcroppings of sandstone at a maximum height of 51.12m AOD in the north-east corner of the site (Trench 66), falling away to 34.17m AOD in the south-west corner of the site (Trench 77). A small quantity of residual struck flint artefacts suggests some activity of Mesolithic to Early Neolithic date in the vicinity of the site. Early Neolithic or possible Middle - Late Bronze Age activity is further suggested by very small quantities of pottery of a similar date within a pit context. However, much of the archaeological activity recorded appears to be related to a settlement of Late Iron Age - Roman date, with a possible eavesdrip gully associated with three pits, a single posthole, a possible enclosure ditch and associated field system. A second possible eavesdrip gully of AD270 - 350 date was also identified. Medieval activity was limited to a single ditch and two flanking pits of possible 12th-13th century date. Post-medieval features comprised two field boundary ditches, both of which are present on Ordnance Survey maps from 1882 up to the 1980s.
