Abstract:		 Preceding evaluation established the presence of Late Bronze Age, Roman and post-medieval remains. An excavation area, totalling c.4,300sq m, was subsequently targeted upon the remains in the south-west of the site. Remains of Late Bronze Age land use activity comprised shallow interrupted ditches that probably formed part of a wider field system, as well as possible pits and tree holes/throws. The lack of finds suggests that any associated settlement lay some distance away. Increased land use during the Roman period was evidenced by the establishment of field boundary ditches and a large possible quarry pit. Relatively few finds were recovered; the pottery assemblage was largely of broadly Roman date, with smaller quantities of Late Iron Age/Early Roman pottery and a single sherd of Late Roman pottery scattered across the features. No remains of occupation were found, attesting to the agricultural nature of the landscape. Late Iron Age and Roman salt working has been noted on the lower marshy ground to the south and west of the site, suggesting this industry and agriculture co-existed within the landscape. The site retained its rural character through the medieval and post-medieval periods, with fewer ditch alignments and a number of possible discrete features recorded.
