Abstract:		 investigation in advance of a quarry exntension revealed a mainly prehistoric landscape. With no evidence for pre-Early Bronze Age activity, this was evinced by two post-build circular structures, related pits and a palisade enclosure, all with Collard Urn pottery. Features were aligned withn a linear east-west swathe. Middle Bronze Age activity reoriented this landscape logic through an extensive ditched fieldsystem upon a northwest-southeast axis. This is coaxial apart from a diversion around a cremation cemetery, the south arm of which is a double-ditched droveway. Ten post-built structures were assigned to this period, with three 'working areas' defined by feature clusters. These were situated upon the fen-side of the fieldsystem. Deverel-Rimbury pottery characterised this period. A single crouched inhumation and three cow burials may date to this phase. Cow dominated the economy, along with with sheep and pig. Cereals were absent, but briquetage represented salt-production and/or its distribution. Post-Deverel-Rimbury pottery was noted in small quantities within feature's upper fills, along with signs of increasing saturation in the later Bronze Age. A hiatus of activity was then noted until post-medieval agriculture.
