Abstract:		 The monitored works comprised topsoil and subsoil removal from three 10 m wide soil strips and 2 m wide pipe trenches across three fields. The watching archaeologist monitored all mechanical excavations within the specified area. Where necessary, the surfaces of uncovered archaeological deposits were cleaned by hand to aid visual definition. A sample of archaeological features and deposits was hand-excavated, sufficient to address the aims of the watching brief. There was little artefactual material recovered from the site; the earliest datable artefact was a residual prehistoric flint recovered from the subsoil in trench 3. Agricultural soils containing pottery and animal bone dating to the medieval and post-medieval period respectively were also recorded in trench 3, as well as a post-medieval brick post pad. Undated cut features were uncovered in trenches 1 and 3, comprising pits, a posthole and a ditch. The proximity of these monitored trenches to a known site of Iron Age/Romano-British occupation indicates that they could be part of this activity, perhaps on the periphery, though a lack of any artefact or ecofact evidence makes any further conclusions difficult. The archaeological remains were well preserved, with little to no evidence of impacts from later activity. Due to the nature of the deposits encountered, no environmental samples were collected.
