The evaluation comprised 20 trenches, each measuring 30m by 1.8m A buffer zone was included in the layout to maintain a safe distance from an overhead power cable that extended across the field from north-west to souh-east. Trenches were excavated using a machine fitted with a toothless ditching bucket, under close archaeological supervision. Machining ceased at the surface of the natural geology or significant archaeological horizon, whichever was reached first. A range of features were selected for hand excavation and recording in consultation with the NCC Archaeologist. Environmental samples were taken from a selection of dated deposits to assess the potential of the site for palaeo-environmental evidence. These comprised bulk samples of 40 litres taken for flotation for charred plant remains. All features and deposits were issued with unique context numbers, and context recording was in accordance with the written scheme of investigation. The evaluation identified two concentrations of archaeological features, situated in the north and south-western parts of the evaluation area. All the features were ditches and it is likely that they represent the boundaries of enclosure complexes or groups of fields. Only two features produced dating evidence - one in the northern group and one in the south-western group. In both instances the pottery was Roman, and further Roman pottery was recovered from the subsoil of a third trench. The small amount of pottery recovered from the site is indicative of peripheral activity, perhaps suggesting that the features were not particularly close to any associated areas of domestic occupation.
