Abstract:		 The work comprised the excavation of a quadrangular parcel measuring 408 sqm. This was further extended to the west, c. 179 sqm based on the archaeological results and in agreement with the CDC Archaeological Adviser. The area was set out using differential GPS and were to target the principal concentration of archaeological remains recorded during the evaluation. The excavation areas were machine-stripped under the supervision of experienced archaeologists using a tracked mechanical 360° excavator fitted with a toothless ditching Overburden deposits (topsoil and subsoil) were first removed in spits no greater than 0.2m in thickness. Machine excavation was then carried out to the surface of natural geology or archaeological deposits, whichever was higher. A sample excavation strategy was agreed and discussed with the CDC Archaeological Adviser at regular on-site meetings. A sufficient sample of linear features was excavated, all required relationships were defined, investigated and recorded and all terminals were excavated. Discrete features were, as a minimum, 50% excavated and, where rich finds or environmental remains were encountered, 100% excavated. The excavations revealed an enclosed Late Iron Age / Early Roman structure. A G-shaped building with a probable thatched roof, a central post and entrance facing east-southeast was located within a small rectilinear enclosure. Adjacent enclosures, pits a post-built structure were recorded. Environmental and artefactual evidence suggest the site comprised part of a small rural domestic settlement built, re-landscaped and used between 1st C BC-1st C AD.
