Archaeological excavation, monitoring and building recording was carried out at 'High Trees', St Clare Drive, in advance of the construction of four new dwellings, garages and access road (CBC planning application 151495).<1> Roman features consisted of four north/south ditches, one east/west ditch, 14 small pits, one large pit(s) and three postholes. The ditches are probably either field boundaries or relate to a nearby settlement, with the presence of a moderately wealthy finds assemblage suggesting that the latter may be more likely. A second phase of activity dates to the post-medieval period (16/17th to early 18th century) with two large quarry pits showing gravel was extracted on the site. Modern pillar postholes, pits and a boundary ditch are probably related to the old house and garden. A building recording was also carried out on a Second World War air-raid shelter located on the site. This investigation followed a trial-trenched evaluation in 2013 (ECC2879).<2>
