Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation was conducted in accordance with a trench plan drawn up in consultation with the HEP (Arch) and in line with CIfA guidelines and best practice. A total of five trenches, each 1.60m wide and totalling c.161m in length, were laid out using a Leica GPS and opened by wheeled mechanical excavator to the depth of archaeological deposits or in situ weathered natural using a toothless grading bucket. Exposed archaeological deposits were excavated by hand and in accordance with the WSI and CIfA guidelines. The evaluation was designed to establish the presence or absence, extent, depth, character and date of any in situ archaeological deposits; the trenches being located to target anomalies identified by the geophysical survey; and to inform any further planning decisions. The evaluation took place in August 2023. The geophysical survey identified 18 groups of anomalies across the two fields. These were predominantly linear ditch and/or bank boundary features associated phases of the existing and historic field-system. The evaluation trenching largely validated the results of the geophysical survey (SWARCH 2022) and identified a total of 5 linear archaeological features, including a removed historic field boundary, a modern service trench, a boundary wall and a single undated ditch, other anomalies proved to be geological. Most of the features produced dating evidence, with a small assemblage of post-medieval and modern artefacts recovered from all but one of the features and composing the entire assemblage from the topsoil contexts. The results of the evaluation trenching have determined that the results of the geophysical survey are reliable; and that there is a low archaeological potential for the site. It is thought that in this instance further archaeological mitigation will not be required as part of any planning conditions.
