Abstract:		 Four areas (totalling 1,880sq m) were excavated following the results of an earlier archaeological evaluation by trial trenching across the 24.69ha site. Low-level activity on the site during earlier prehistoric periods was represented by two Early Neolithic pits, two Bronze Age pits and a small assemblage of largely residual Neolithic and Bronze Age material. Evidence of more intensive activity during the Earliest Iron Age comprised a number of ditches suggesting land drainage, division and usage, as well as postholes and pits perhaps more indicative of settlement related activity. A deliberately deposited, and mostly complete, ceramic vessel was found and a pit containing a very large but disturbed collection of pottery was most likely the result of waste disposal. Limited Roman activity was recorded, with evidence in the form of a large quarry pit and a line of posts along its south edge. A further Roman pit and two Roman ditches were identified from the evaluation results. The only medieval evidence on the site was a layer over the Roman quarry pit, filling a hollow caused by its subsidence. Post-medieval field boundary ditches ran across the main site and can be seen on aerial photographs and correlate with boundaries depicted on historic OS mapping.
