Abstract:		 Archaeological excavations during the construction of a bund enclosing the extension area of Baston No.1 Quarry revealed considerable evidence for prehistoric activity, particularly of the Early to Middle Bronze Age. This relates to a broader prehistoric landscape in the local environs that is dominated by an extensive Middle Bronze Age ditched system of field allotment and droveways. The current programme of investigations revealed a circular Early Bronze Age dwelling consisting of a double ring of posts and eastern entrance associated with Collard Urn pottery. Two clusters of contemporary pits and a four-post structure of unknown date were located in close proximity to this dwelling. In addition, two Middle Bronze Age circular post-built structures were identified with southeast entrances and traces of central hearths. Within 20m of each other, these dwelling areas also consisted of fencelines, postholes, pits and a well, all associated with Deverel Rimbrey pottery. Situated between these Early and Middle Bronze Age deposits were two alignments of multiple linear ditches that correspond with features identified in previous investigations to the west. These appear to form part of the Middle Bronze Age field system, but in a way that is deliberately diverted around, and thereby enclosing, an earlier funerary area of ring ditches, inhumations and cremations. Measuring c.200m in diameter, this 'enclosure', although partial, has little parallel in Britain. A single Iron Age pit represented the only post-Middle Bronze Age activity until the post-Medieval period, for which evidence has also been found of a generic agricultural landscape.
