Abstract:		 The oldest artefact found at the site was a Middle Palaeolithic handaxe recovered from a later feature. The piece is extensively bifacially worked, and an uncommon discovery on the Weald. A thin scatter of struck flint and fire-cracked flint was recovered from later deposits suggesting a restricted level of activity on or near the site in the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age. There were no clearly datable features of this date. The earliest features on site dated from the Middle Bronze Age and consist of a post-built roundhouse, part of a ditched field system and a scatter of pits across the site. The next period of discernible activity dates from the Middle to Late Iron Age, a single gully and an isolated pit. The vast majority of datable features at the site belong to the 1st century AD, Remains consist of a ditched enclosure with at least three phases of 'domestic' roundhouses and a smaller ancillary roundhouse (all represented by arcs of drip gullies), with associated pits, post-holes and middens. Late Romano-British activity consists of part of a ditched enclosure in which there is a rectangular post-built structure, (although dating of the structure is far from certain) and a single isolated pit. There were no medieval features and post-medieval activity was left only field boundaries, isolated ?watering holes and an animal burial. A limited assemblage of post-medieval material was also recovered from the overburden.
