Abstract:		 It was proposed to excavate a total of 8 trenches, each measuring between 20m and 30m in length and 2m wide (7 x 30m trenches and 1 x 20m trench), positioned around the second concentration of archaeological features found in Field 3 during the Phase 1 trenching. These trenches aimed to try and establish the extent of the archaeology as well as any dating evidence. The trenches were to be dug by a 3600-type tracked mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket under supervision of an experienced archaeologist. Any features uncovered were to be cleaned, excavated and recorded using the appropriate hand tools. This second phase evaluation has been successful in indicating that an area of archaeological potential previously identified in trenches 1, 14 and 15 in the south-western part of Field 3 during the first phase evaluation extends to both the east and west and the density of features in this expanded area is particularly intense. The features previously recorded in trenches 1, 14 and 15 took the form of ditches, gullies, postholes and pits The features that could be dated appear to indicate prehistoric (Bronze Age and Iron Age) occupation in this area of site together with a medieval and or/post-medieval field system. Trenches 21, 23, 24, 25 and 28 from the second phase evaluation contained a high density of archaeological features; again ditches, gullies and pits together with post-medieval furrows. Unfortunately there was no further dating evidence from any of these features but it seems reasonable to posit prehistoric dates for at least some of them. The results of both phases of the evaluation indicate that this area of Field 3 has high archaeological potential.
