Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken for Historic Environment Consultancy on behalf of their client Explore Living South East between the 2nd October 2007 and 8th May 2008 in advance of development, encompassing an area of 26598 square meters. The results suggest that the site was occupied during the later prehistoric period, in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age with subsequent activity in the Late Iron Age and early Roman period, possibly in use fairly regularly during this time span. Phasing then earliest activity on the site is frustrated by the abraded and possibly residual nature of much of the pottery recovered and mixed dating evidence produced. Furthermore, minimal sized assemblages were recovered from individual features. Later prehistoric linear features comprising field systems were revealed along with un-urned cremation deposits and associated pits and dispersed discreet features. Roman remains including a ditch, two large pits possibly associated with quarrying and funerary deposits. Following which there was a long period of abandonment of approximately four centuries until the 6th to 7th Century AD. The Anglo-Saxon remains comprised of three Sunken Feature Buildings (SFB's), possibly related to the Anglo-Saxon remains recorded by Wessex Archaeology on the opposite side of Manston Road. Finally, there was a period of Saxo-Norman occupation represented by remains including two Sunken Feature Buildings, one in association with a possible flint lined oven.
