Abstract:		 In June 2015, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land at Bilton, East Riding of Yorkshire. The evaluation was undertaken to inform a planning application for the development of a solar farm at the site. The evaluation identified a series of substantial, well-preserved ditches and pits in the northern part of the site, corresponding with an enclosure complex detected by a previous geophysical survey. Outlying ditches were also recorded to the south of the enclosure complex, again, corresponding to the geophysical survey results. Associated dating evidence indicated that activity commenced around the 1st century AD and continued until the end of the 4th century AD. The findings were consistent with a basic-level Roman rural site or farmsted. A further enclosure complex in the southern part of the site is known from cropmark and geophysical survey evidence; this southern complex was untested by the present evaluation, but is presumably also Roman in date. The evaluation also identified evidence for a medieval ridge and furrow argricultural system and a small number of late post-medieval/modern features, including a field boundary/ditch and former ponds.
