Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised the excavation of thirteen 30m trial trenches that were positioned to investigate anomalies and topographic features shown on a LiDAR and geophysical survey of the site. In the centre of the site there was a small, sub-circular enclosure with a diameter of c. 10m and a possible opening on its western side. Pottery recovered from the enclosure ditch fill dates to the Roman period. To the north of the enclosure six ditches on either a north-east to south-west or north-west to south-east alignment were encountered along the eastern edge of the site, either side of Spring Lane. One of the ditches contained a sherd of Roman pottery, dating to the 2nd to 4th century AD; the other ditches are undated artefactually but they predate the medieval open field system, so it is probable that they form part of a Roman agricultural ditch system. The remains of a medieval/post-medieval open field system were evident, in the form of extant earthworks of ridge and furrow ploughing in the southern part of the site and as furrow bases in the central and northern parts, where the earthworks had been levelled. Other features, which are likely to date to the post-medieval/modern periods, comprised a hollow way that followed the line of a former hedgerow shown on late 19thcentury Ordnance Survey maps, a field boundary ditch and a gravel spread.
