Abstract:		 Following a geophysical survey of the c.65.45ha site, which identified anomalies of probable/possible archaeological, natural and post-medieval/modern origin, including several enclosures and field boundaries, sixty-seven trenches were excavated across the site targeting the anomalies. Twenty-nine trenches contained archaeological features comprising ditches, pits, postholes and an extensive debris layer, which were concentrated in the south-east and south-west areas of the site. A high degree of correlation between geophysical anomalies and below-ground archaeological features was demonstrated. No prehistoric features were recorded; however, small quantities of residual pottery and worked flint attest to a transitory prehistoric presence in the landscape. The majority of remains uncovered were of Roman date. Ditches forming two large rectangular enclosures and several pits uncovered in the south-east are considered to constitute the remains of a Roman occupation site with associated agricultural land. Artefactual material recovered is indicative of domestic occupation, with quantities of ceramic building material suggestive of nearby structural remains. Small quantities of Anglo-Saxon and medieval pottery were recovered, with a few ditches suggestive of medieval agricultural activities. A number of late post-medieval/modern ditches with the remains of parallel hedgerows correspond with field boundaries recorded on historic mapping.
