Geophysical survey by J Adcock of GSB Prospection Ltd and two phases of evaluation by V Hughes and S Leech of OAS of an area proposed for mineral extraction. The geophysics revealed a series of linear anomalies that may be small enclosures; strong responses that suggest the presence of fired materials or ferrous-rich deposits, and numerous linear trends thought to be of agricultural origin. Little was detected in the region of the Mesolithic/ Neolithic/Bronze Age flint scatter identified by TVAS during fieldwalking in 2010, although the ephemeral nature of pre-Bronze Age sites may explain this. The first phase of the evaluation comprised the excavation of 94 trenches and revealed evidence for activity from three main periods: Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age; medieval agricultural use; and post-medieval drainage activity. In addition, the presence of occasional residual flint artefacts of Mesolithic to early Neolithic date in some of the features, is consistent with the results of the 2010 fieldwalking and further indicates the potential for the site to contain evidence of early prehistoric activity. The features of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age date were found largely in the eastern part of the site, and possible settlement sites were identified in the south-east corner and close to a palaeochannel in the north of the site. Occasional isolated features of this date elsewhere across the site may attest to a broader agricultural landscape. A number of ditches probably date to the medieval and post-medieval periods. Some boundaries may be the remnants of strip fields with a slightly curved form and could represent a medieval field system. The site continued in agricultural use in the post-medieval period and evidence of relatively sophisticated drainage features dating to the early 19th century were recorded. The second phase of evaluation comprised the excavation of nine trenches and revealed a single pit, containing a flint of possible Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. However, it is thought likely that the feature dates to the Late Bronze to Early Iron Age period, in common with the features of this date revealed during the earlier phase of evaluation.
