Abstract:		 Strip, map and record excavation was undertaken in two areas (Area A and B) to fulfil the terms of the planning condition placed upon the development. The current report details the results of investigations within Area B. Work in Area A will be completed at a later date, the timing of which will be determined by the overall development plan of the leisure park, with the provision that archaeological work would be completed before development commences in that area. Area B comprised two trenches, the North Trench and the South Trench. The North Trench was c.15m by 35m (525m2) in area and targeted the course of an enclosure ditch. The South Trench was c.10m by 15m in area and aimed to facilitate paleoenvironment sampling of a known palaeochannel which crossed the area. The work undertaken in the North Trench identified Roman and medieval period activity. The Roman phase of activity included ditches that most likely formed part of wider enclosure or field system. The features were probably associated with agriculture, although some evidence for iron working was present, suggesting smithing was being undertaken in the vicinity. The second phase of activity represented a reordering of the landscape during the medieval period. The remains included a single linear feature that may have represented a trackway or a plough furrow that was aligned consistently to the known medieval field layout recorded by geophysical survey and fossilised in the existing field boundaries to the east of the site. The presence of prehistoric flint artefacts residually within the fills of these chronologically later features indicates occupation of the site during the Mesolithic and Late Neolithic periods. 10.3 Investigations in the South Trench confirmed the presence of the palaeochannel. However, samples recovered from the deposits filling the feature were organically sterile, and were therefore uninformative as to the ecological history of the immediate, or wider area.
