Abstract:		 The site is located in a landscape of medieval farmland and post-medieval to modern mining activity. Historic mapping showed that the site had been split into three fields until between 1977 and 1991 with later fences occasionally being erected. Field name evidence associates the site with a fair and a 'well' or 'watering place'; late 19th century mapping shows a pond in the south-east end of the field, adjacent to the road. Field work conducted on the site in 1999 during the instatement of a sewage treatment pipeline revealed modern land-drains on the site and flint scatters in the adjacent fields. The geophysical survey identified eleven groups of anomalies including; modern services and boundaries, relatively recently removed historic boundaries, geological variation, possible relict boundary/drainage ditches and possible pits associated with the mining landscape or possible well-type feature. Most of these anomalies are modern or geological. However, some undated features at the north-west end of the site may be associated with an earlier (probable medieval) field system and/or post-medieval mining or farming of livestock. The south-east end of the site is ostensibly dominated by a change in geology or made-ground, possibly associated with mining waste. Although probable archaeological anomalies were sparse on the site, the presence of some undated linear features and possible mining related pits may warrant further investigation. The frequency of flint scatters in the surrounding landscape may also warrant a degree of further investigation on the site. Targeted evaluation trenches would be useful to validate the geophysical survey and would clarify the presence and extent of possible archaeological features and deposits.
