A trial-trenched evaluation (18 trial-trenches; 17 trenches measured 30m long by 1.8m wide with one (T14) measuring 20m long by 1.8m wide, totalling 530m linear or 954m² - a 5% sample) was carried during pre-application work for the construction of residential dwellings. Trenches T1-T11 and T13 were excavated through c.100-600mm of modern tarmac/concrete and crush onto a sandy-silt subsoil (L2, c.150-600mm thick) which sealed natural sands (L3). Trenches T12 and T14-T18 were excavated through modern topsoil (L1, c.110-340mm thick) onto L2 (c.110-590mm thick) which sealed natural sands (L3). Evaluation revealed a possible prehistoric field boundary running NE/SW across the site, a possible medieval pit, a post-medieval (16th-17th century) ditch and brick foundation, a number of undated ditches, pits and post-holes, and several modern features. Dating evidence was sparse across the whole site, and most of the earlier (Roman and medieval) pottery was represented by small, abraded sherds that may have been deposited in later features during manuring. Other finds included a retouched flint blade (probably early Neolithic) from T12, F4 and a small tertiary flake from T6, F27.<1> A small strip, map and sample excavation was subesquently carried out in March 2017 (ECC3971).<2>
