Abstract:		 Thirteen trenches of 30m length and one further trench 18.5m long were excavated within the proposed development area, trenches 1-10 in Site A and trenches 11-14 in Site B, see Figures 2 and 3 for trench locations. Each trench was scanned with a metal detector and a CAT scan to identify possible hazards such as live ammunition or service cables. All trenches were 1.5m wide and were excavated under close archaeological inspection by a JCB mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. Excavation proceeded in spits until the top of undisturbed natural subsoil was exposed or to the top of archaeologically significant deposits. Roman activity on the site appears to be mainly concentrated within Site B, in Trenches 11-14, with features indicative of a small settlement located in this area. It is possible that activity also extended eastwards in the south of Site A, with a Roman posthole discovered in Trench 8. Alternatively the postholes in Trenches 8 and 9 may be a separate activity area. A broad range of pottery was recovered from the disturbed natural in most of the trenches in Site A, indicating general Roman activity in this area, possibly for agriculture. The pottery recovered from the various features suggests that this occupation may have spanned the entire Roman period, from the mid-late 1st century to the 4th century with the late 2nd century onwards most strongly represented and perhaps the main period of occupation.
