Abstract:		 Thirty-two evaluation trenches were excavated across the site. These trenches targeted geophysical anomalies identified from a survey, which mainly related to medieval agricultural practices in the form of furrows. The evaluation revealed a Roman settlement on the eastern side of the site, defined by an probable enclosure ditch with a possible associated droveway. A number of small ditches on the interior of the enclosure probably represent internal sub-divisions. The pottery recovered from the site was in good condition and with a higher than average sherd size, and suggested a main period of activity in the 2nd to mid-3rd century. Environmental evidence was poor, with no preservation of bone and only a small amount of charred cereal crop, though hammerscale was present, suggesting some level of metal working in the vicinity. The site of a possible Second World War anti-aircraft emplacement was identified on the site, defined by an area of made ground and serviced by a now defunct electricity cable.
