Abstract:		 Two trial trenches of 51m length in total were excavated between the 18th and 20th April 2018. The evaluation revealed two undated ditches and a pit. Two worked flint fragments, a late Neolithic/early Bronze Age pottery fragment and one animal bone were recovered from the pit. The pottery and flint were interpreted as being residual and it is likely that the pit represents quarrying activity in the Roman period due to its similarity with features excavated on the Priors Gate site to the north. Archaeological features in both trenches were truncated by footings of modern 20th century buildings. These are not recorded on any OS maps so may have been short-lived. While the site is located in an area of a known high density of prehistoric, Roman and Saxon settlement and industrial features, as evidenced on the adjacent KFC site to the south, this intense settlement and industrial activity does not seem to have extended into the current development area. However, the high degree of modern truncation may also have destroyed any potential earlier archaeological features present.
