Abstract:		 The evaluation comprised the excavation of twelve trenches measuring 30m x 2m. 17 trenches were intended for this stage of evaluation but were inaccessible due to the presence of livestock. The array of trenches was intended to target anomalies identified by the geophysical survey (Magnitude Surveys 2021) to test the reliability of the geophysical survey results in terms of identifying features of potential archaeological origin. The evaluation identified archaeological features in 7 out of 12 excavated trenches, mostly concentrated to the centre/ south of the site, these features were primarily linear ditches demonstrating clear evidence of land use from the early Bronze Age to the Romano British period. The finds recovered from the archaeological features are of some interest. Specialist analysis of the finds assemblage identified some pre-Conquest Gallo – Belgic pottery imports suggesting the site may have been of high social status during the late Iron Age and a possible Ballista bolt head could suggest some Roman military presence or activity on or near the Site. The evaluation achieved its secondary aim of testing the reliability of the geophysical survey results in terms of identifying features of potential archaeological origin. Although not accurate across the entirety of the Site many geophysical anomalies were proven to relate to archaeological features identified in the evaluation.
