Abstract:		 A total of 275 trial trenches (272 measuring 30 x 2 m; 1 measuring 46 x 2 m; 1 measuring 10 x 4 m; and 1 measuring 20 x 2 m), were excavated in level spits using a 360º excavator equipped with a toothless bucket, under the constant supervision and instruction of the monitoring archaeologist. Machine excavation proceeded until either the archaeological horizon or the natural geology was exposed. The earliest features comprised ditches and pits dated to the Middle/Late Iron Age, located in the west and east of the site. Finds of Middle to Late Iron Age pottery, along with animal bone were recovered from the ditch and pit fills. The ditches aligned well with anomalies from the preceding geophysical survey, forming the boundaries of enclosures and the drip gullies of roundhouses. Ditches and a pit containing Romano-British pottery were recorded in the west of the site. The pottery indicated that the features were in use until the late 2nd to late 3rd century. Post-medieval furrows were identified in the west of the site, while the potential remains of a windmill mound were recorded in the south-east. A field boundary of post-medieval date was also uncovered in the south-east corner of the site, while a modern pit was recorded in the north. A good number of the ditches, gullies, pits and postholes recorded across the site remain undated, including a group of ditches in the west of the site that correlated well with a complex of enclosures identified on the geophysical survey.
