Abstract:		 A prehistoric hollow and buried soil in the south-east of the site were demonstrated to comprise naturally deposited drift sands incorportating a range of prehistoric pottery and worked flint, primarily of apparent Early Neolithic date. Pits cut into the deposit were also Early Neolithic. A rectangular ditched enclosure of Early Iron Age date was also found in the south-east. A small quantity of pits and postholes were present both in and outside the enclosure. Remains of a Late Iron Age rectilinear field system were recorded in the north-west and south-east of the site. Tree-throws are interpreted to indicate associated land clearance. Remains of medieval roadside settlement, with early/mid 11th-century origins, were present across the north end of the site. A buried hoard of six silver pennies, found in the subsoil, probably related to this early settlement activity. This settlement activity came to an end in the 14th century and was replaced by strip field systems dating to the 15th-mid 16th century. A few pits and two wells located within these fields hint at irrigation of crops or watering of livestock. The late medieval field systems were restructured in the early post-medieval period (mid 16th-17th centuries) to create larger rectilinear fields. Over the late post-medieval period this layout became increasingly simplified.
