Abstract:		 Archaeological and geo-archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of residential development. Thirty evaluation trenches were excavated across the c.5.5ha site. Archaeological features were recorded in five trenches in the east of the site, the remaining 25 trenches being devoid of such remains. Two distinct clusters postholes and pits were identified in Trench 14 and across Trenches 20 and 30. These are interpreted as being remains of Middle Iron Age domestic structures, potentially constituting a farmstead. However, only a small quantity of diagnostic pottery sherds, from four of the features, were recovered. An Iron Age ditch and another undated ditch to the south may define a contemporary settlement boundary or part of a wider field system. This Iron Age land use activity is likely to extend into the currently un-evaluated north-eastern part of the site. [Subsequent area excavation demonstrated this land use was actually Early/Middle Saxon] The geo-archaeological investigation recorded a sequence of silts, clays, clayey gravel and sandy gravel, but no humanly-struck flints or deposits with palaeoenvironmental potential were encountered.
