Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised the excavation of thirty evaluation trenches within the development area, which consisted of two areas of rough grassland on either side of a large earthwork bund. The total excavation area was 1969m2 - an approximate 5.5% sample of the two areas. The evaluation identified two areas of archaeological activity, both in the western part (Area 2) of the development area. The first consisted of a shallow gully, possibly of 11th to 12th century date truncated by a later pit which contained residual Roman pottery. Nearby to the west was another shallow gully which contained Iron Age pottery dating to the 6th to 4th centuries BC. Further to the east was an undated shallow gully and a linear, probably the result of the grubbing out of part of an extant but truncated field boundary. To the west of these features was a group of tree throws. The eastern part of the development area (Area1) had been the location of the compound for an earlier phase of the construction works for Cribbs Causeway. The construction of this compound had resulted in a degree of landscaping which may have impacted into the natural clays which most likely accounted for the dearth of archaeological features in this area.
