Eighteen trenches were excavated in Area C, following fieldwalking and geophysical survey (CAT report 184). In total, 136 archaeological contexts were excavated or examined. Discounting 48 topsoils or subsoils, the majority of the excavated archaeological contexts were modern or post-medieval in date (39%). The next largest group of features was undated (23%) or of natural origin (20%). With regard to 'pre-modern’ archaeological features, there were eleven Roman ditches or pits, one Iron Age ditch, and five prehistoric pits. Together, these constituted 18% of all excavated features. The main findings are: • a Middle Iron Age (MIA) ditch occurred in Trench C7 and produced the largest significant stratified group of finds (48 sherds, 368 grammes of MIA pottery). • Trenches C15 and C16 revealed a pair of ditches defining a potential trackway (corresponding to similar cropmark features in Areas DR, R, M and P) and a Roman boundary ditch. These, and another isolated ditch in Trench C11, form part of a fragmented Roman (or possibly late prehistoric) rectilinear landscape aligned approximately S-W/N-E, which survives best in the south-east part of Area C but probably originally spread more extensively across the whole of Area C. One area was subsequently targetted for open area excavation, centred on T7 (see EVT3943) and a watching brief was carried out across the remaining area (see EVT4218).
