Abstract:		 Four hundred and thirty-nine trenches were excavated. Of these 435 measured 30m x 20m, two measured 120m x 2m and two measured 60m x 20m. The majority of the trenches were set out using a dGPS in accordance with the agreed trench layout plan. Trenches 409, 419, 420, 433 and 434 were not excavated with the agreement of the county archaeologist as they were located within a potato crop while the locations of trenches 404, 405, 421, 422 and 437 were moved to avoid it. An additional three trenches, 443, 444 and 445 were excavated at the request of the county archaeologist and located to further evaluate Enclosure 1 The evaluation confirmed the presence of two rectangular enclosures of currently unknown date identified by the geophysical survey. No other archaeological features were present, again corroborating the results of the geophysical survey. The excavations also revealed a series of post-medieval field boundaries and furrows and a series of modern dumps of waste material which also corresponded with magnetic anomalies. Overall the archaeological potential of the site, based on the available evidence, is assessed as very low.
