Abstract:		 40 trenches were excavated, the majority targeted upon selected anomalies identified by a preceding geophysical survey. 15 trenches were found to contain a low density of archaeological remains, mostly in the west of the site, alongside the Sixpenny Brook. The earliest feature was a prehistoric pit in the site's north-west corner. It is either Early Neolithic or Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and it is suggested to represent a Neolithic place of encampment or a later prehistoric farmstead. Four adjacent trenches in the central-west part of the site revealed Late Iron Age/Early Roman ditches and finds, with one of these ditches containing over 100 sherds. The sherds probably relate to domestic occupation, the focal point of which has yet to be found or identified. The ditches are perhaps remnants of Late Iron Age/Early Roman enclosures alongside the east side of the Sixpenny Brook. A pit in the site's north-west corner was the investigation's sole datable medieval feature. Post-medieval ditches relate to the enclosure system initially comprising numerous small fields that is recorded by historic mapping from 1730 onwards. Further detail of some of its early subdivisions and internal land drainage were found.
