Abstract:		 Archaeological excavation carried out in advance of residential development. Five excavation areas totalling 2700 sq. m. were investigated. No remains of prehistoric date were identified although the recovery of a few pieces of residual struck flint does attest to a prehistoric presence in the landscape. The earliest dated remains were two pits with charcoal-flecked fills containing pottery of earlier Iron Age date. A larger third pit containing charcoal and baked clay may also be contemporary. No remains of late Iron Age, Roman or Saxon date were present nor was there any other medieval features in addition to a single pit identified during the evaluation. Three field boundary ditches, previously investigated as part of the evaluation were further excavated. All are depicted on historic mapping dating from 1787 to the mid- 20th century. Finds recovered from the ditches broadly mirrored the map dates and included pottery dating from the late 18th/early 19th century and a glass bottle dating from the 1920s or later. A few sherds of residual medieval pottery had been recovered from the ditches during the evaluation. However, no further finds or deposits of medieval date were identified and there was no archaeological evidence to suggest that the ditches were of medieval origin. Modern remains consisted of a fence-line and several dog burials present that on map evidence are likely to post-date the 1950s.
