Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised 28 trenches measuring 50m by 1.80m, representing a 2% sample of Areas 2 and 7, which measures approximately 12.6ha. The trenches were placed with due regard to the location of services and taking into consideration ecological and arboricultural constraints. The investigation revealed that only 4 trenches in Area 2 had archaeological remains. A single undated pit and a single residual flint flake were recovered in one of the trenches and a heavily truncated feature contaminated by modern rubbish from another trench; all other features were of postmediaeval or modern date. All these features were in poor condition with survival being affected by past ploughing and modern land intervention in both areas. Traces of the medieval ridge and furrow cultivation were visible on the surface in Area 2 but did not survive below ground. Areas 2 and 7 were predominately agricultural in nature and both areas have been subject to major land management and disturbance from the 19th century to the present day. There was no evidence of potential settlements recorded on the HER through lidar and cropmark evidence and no evidence for the Romano British saltway (HER reference WSM37590) reputed as being potentially present within the northwestern boundary of Area 2 was present. Trial trenching confirmed that there are no archaeological remains predating the post-medieval date surviving on site. There should be no requirement for further archaeological investigation on Areas 2 and 7.
