Evaluation and excavation by J Saunders of TVAS, for Linden Homes, of land to be residentially developed. A number of prehistoric flints were recovered, but the earliest features recorded date to the 1st - mid 2nd centuries AD and probably represent part of a field system. Also present was a pit containing mid-late 2nd century pottery, most of which was typical of a low status rural settlement. Two post-hole sized features, probably both Roman, contained cremated bone, analysis of which suggests they were sheep/goat. Later remains include two possible lime-burning clamps of 13th - mid 14th century date. Other medieval remains included a shallow ditch and pit of similar date. The majority of the medieval pottery recovered from these features came from cooking pots, suggesting settlement in the vicinity. (319)
