Abstract:		 A total of fifty-two evaluation trenches were investigated across the 8.3ha site area, of which twenty-three were found to contain archaeological remains. Following a geophysical survey, the evaluation uncovered evidence of Iron Age occupation activity and possible medieval and post-medieval field boundaries and occupation activity. Evidence of an undated circular enclosure with two internal postholes was encountered in the west of the site, corroborating the results of the geophysical survey. Although undated, it is possible that it is associated with the prehistoric occupation of the site or the surrounding area. Past activity on the site appeared to be focused in the south-west of the site. Evidence of possible occupation/land use is evident in the form of pits and postholes, some of which appear broadly Iron Age in date, with the majority dating to the medieval period (c.12th-century). Ditches encountered in the north-east of the site may be related to the geophysical linear anomaly and, although the dating evidence is limited, they demonstrate the agricultural nature of land use in this part of the site. Analysis of historic mapping attests to continued agricultural land management in the post-medieval/modern period.
