Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 212 trenches each measuring approximately 25 x 1.8m. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a 5% representative sample of the remainder of the site. A further 14 trenches were planned to be excavated. Four in the northeast corner of site (Trenches 180-183) could not be accessed due to dense small tree coverage. Ten trenches in Field 1 (Trenches 213-226) could not be accessed due to ongoing use as football pitches. Trench 75 was also moved to avoid a water pipe. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. Two trenches did not reach the natural substrate due to the presence of a deep alluvial layer. In January and February 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land off Moortown Lane, Ringwood, Hampshire. A total of 212 trenches were excavated. The earliest phase of activity on site was centred around a Bronze Age double ring ditch barrow. A smaller ring gully, waste pits and possible enclosure ditches were also dated to this period in the vicinity of the barrow. One possible Roman, and three possible medieval field boundaries were identified on site. A small number of undated ditches may also link to Post Medieval enclosure of the site in the 19th Century.
