Abstract:		 Groundworks were undertaken in two phases. The first comprised the stripping of topsoil and subsoil from within the footprint of the proposed dwelling to the top of the geological horizon. This was followed at a later date by the excavation of service and drainage trenches from the property. Topsoil and subsoil deposits were carefully removed under direct archaeological supervision with a 360 excavator fitted with a bladed bucket. Where archaeological horizons were encountered they were cleaned by hand and excavated appropriately. The watching brief recorded a single linear ditch, aligned east – west, from which a small assemblage of late Iron Age - early Roman pottery was recovered. This was located approximately 40m southwest of an area where previous archaeological work had recorded features of Iron Age and Roman date, including a cluster of pits dating to the early and middle Iron Age, a rectilinear feature that contained an assemblage of Romano-British pottery dating to the late 3rd and 4th century and an area of laid limestone that showed evidence of burning in situ. As such it is likely that the ditch recorded during the excavation was associated with the remains recorded to the north east. The lack of any additional features and small artefact assemblage perhaps suggests the feature was a field or enclosure boundary located in the agricultural hinterland of the settlement.
