Excavation of 4 areas within the development boundary. Stripped with mechanical excavator Hand and machine sampling of identified archaeological features The excavation uncovered small numbers of Early and Late Neolithic pits, a Middle Bronze Age coaxial field system with attendant waterhole/well and possible pen structure and round house. A Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age bivallate ovate enclosure was recorded. An Early Iron Age enclosure was also recorded, along with a small workspace area. This was built upon in the Middle Iron Age, with a field system and series of smaller enclosures created within the Early Iron Age predecessor. A round house, ring ditches and grain stores indicate an agrarian and pastural regime were employed throughout this period. A small amount of Roman activity, possibly a portion of a bivallate enclosure was recorded. A hiatus occurred in the archaeological record until the Saxo-Norman period, which saw the construction of a rectangular enclosure, although no contemporary features were noted to provide evidence of its use. A ditch system with no datable material is considered to be of medieval date and is on a possible alignment with the location of Sefter Farm, although there is no knowledge of the inception of this farm. The post-medieval period saw the aggrandisement of this field system, with parcels of land amalgamated to form larger fields. A late 19th or early 20th century lime kiln was also encountered.
