Abstract:		 The excavation revealed part of a much larger settlement complex associated with a late Roman villa rustica. Whilst little Iron Age activity was identified on the site the adjacent excavations revealed the likely later Iron Age core. Continuity between the later Iron Age and Roman periods was marked by the large rectilinear enclosures established on the Iron Age alignments. The Early Roman period saw the establishment of large enclosures and associated trackways. A number of structures were identified across the excavation area. The nature of the site was likely the agricultural part of a wider settlement complex. The Early to Middle Roman period saw the increase in the amount of enclosures with the likelihood that these delineated domestic/ agricultural areas. This period saw a shift in focus towards more agricultural/ industrial emphasis. This trend continued into the Mid- Roman period with the retention and adaption of enclosures. There was also the continuation of industrial activities with two clay lined water tanks, which potentially relate to saltmaking, the processing of crops/ horncores or tanning. The Late Roman period saw the establishment of a series of north-south aligned boundaries which appear to split the site into regular 'strip' like fields. These may be associated with the re-establishment of an enclosure which potentially delineates a domestic structure. Four large waterholes were also created at this time, two of which appear to be associated with super-structures, and as such may indicate continuity.
