153 trenches were excavated in two blocks, following a geophysical survey which showed little obviously significant archaeology. Traces of ridge-and-furrow (the result of long-term medieval/ post-medieval 'open field' agriculture) were apparent on the geophysical survey throughout the evaluation area, but do not survive as earthworks. Prehistoric features include a possible human cremation burial in Trench 132 (containing 22g of burnt human bone) associated with four worked flints consistent with a Late Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date. The cremation deposit was dominated by charcoal with a few poorly preserved charred cereal grains present. A single sherd of Middle Neolithic Peterborough ware pottery was recovered from a ditch in the adjacent Trench 129. The results from Trenches 129 and 132, taken together, suggest that south-eastern field may contain an ephemeral Neolithic funerary site. A single N-S aligned Roman ditch in Trenches 112 and 114, and a small pit with a charcoal-rich fill in Trench 118 were the only probable Roman features encountered, which are tentatively dated on the basis of four sherds of pottery from four separate contexts. N Later medieval / post-medieval features include a single 14th-15th century rubbish pit in Trench 130, and several former field boundary ditches. A small group of hearths in Trench 48 has no associated dating evidence.
