Abstract:		 drp archaeology was commissioned to undertake a pre-determination archaeological evaluation of the site. The development was highly expected to be located above the line of part of the outer defencive ditch and/or bank of the Scheduled Monument of Uphall Iron Age Camp, as identified by an earlier stage of desk based assessment (drp archaeology, 2019). Where this ditch has been identified previously it measured 8m in width by 2m in depth and where the bank has previously been revealed it measured 6m in height. As this was a pre-determination investigation, the archaeological evaluation consisted of two small trial trenches specifically targeted within the open yard area. Trench 1 targeted the potential ditch itself, aligned at right angles to the feature and designed to extend the length of the site in order to maximise locating the ditch and natural. Trench 2 aimed to be located outside of the potential ditch to investigate any associated activity. Despite cartographic evidence demonstrating that the site has laid relatively undeveloped since at least the first edition OS, the results demonstrated a significant degree of modern disturbance in the form of reinforced thick concrete, tarmac and Post-Medieval made ground. The result of this activity has impacted onto the sandy gravel natural, identified in both trenches. Both trenches were archaeological sterile and no evidence of the ditch and/or bank were revealed, despite additional test pitting confirmation. Given the scale of the ditch it is expected that even with modern disturbance evidence of such a feature would survive at lower depth. It was therefore concluded that the feature whilst not identified must exist in the immediate environment and probably to the west of the development site.
