Abstract:		 Investigation of five mitigation excavation areas, totalling 4430 sq m A light scatter of prehistoric pits of broad Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age date were identified across the excavation areas. Later prehistoric land use was evidenced by an arcing arrangement of ditches and an adjacent possible ditched trackway, with a cluster of undated postholes to their north, which are speculated to constitute the remains of a Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age occupation site, such as a farmstead. The majority of the dated remains were demonstrated to be of Early Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) date, broadly dating to the 5th to 7th century AD. The remains of at least three buildings, two post-built and one sunken-featured, were recorded along with pits, a few fencelines and a possible hearth/oven. The possible pit found by the evaluation alongside the brook was shown to be a sequence of deposits occupying a probable hollow – perhaps constituting a working area alongside, or crossing point of, the watercourse. These features define the remains of an unenclosed, dispersed Early Saxon settlement and produced a typical domestic assemblage of pottery, animal bone, fired clay, metalwork and worked bone objects. A significant number of undated postholes and a possible oven/hearth pit were scattered / clustered within the excavation areas. Alignments, possibly constituting fencelines or structures, were apparent amongst them. These undated features likely relate to either the Prehistoric or Early Medieval land use phases of the site.
