Abstract:		 The earliest dated archaeological features encountered by the evaluation were a shallow pit in Trench 10, from which was recovered a flint bladelet core and flint working debitage that probably dates the Early Neolithic period, and two pits in Trench 19 that contained an Early Neolithic flint blade and a sherd of pottery of a broadly similar date. There was also evidence for later Iron Age activity on the site in the form of two undated ditches in Trenches 19 and 20 that possibly pre-date a later Roman ditch system, and as residual artefacts in Roman features, including a flint core of probable Bronze Age/Iron Age date and a sherd of later Iron Age pottery. The main period for activity on the site, which was identified in its south-western half, dates to the mid-1st to later 2nd centuries AD. It consisted of part of a rectilinear ditch system on a north-south/east-west axis, forming a number of paddocks or enclosures. Several of the ditches contained relatively sizeable assemblages of Roman pottery, and a small Roman knife was recovered from one feature, suggesting that the ditch system lay adjacent to an area of occupation, probably to the south or west of the site. There was little evidence for occupation within the site, there being few pits and only three postholes in the trial trenches. In the western corner of the site two large Roman extraction pits were identified (probably dug for clay), which were up to 30m in diameter and 2.4m deep.
