The proposed development area lies in fields directly to the east of Flash Farm, approximately 0.5km to the NW of the village of Averham and approximately 1km to the west of the village of Kelham. The Site presently covers several agricultural fields with their boundaries marked by semi-mature hedgerows and tracks. An irrigation pond is located close to the SE boundary. 47 trenches were targeted on geophysical anomalies indicating the presence of below-ground archaeology, together with cropmarks of suggested archaeological origin and archaeologically ‘blank’ areas to act as a control. Three main phases of activity were identified, dating from the Bronze Age, the pre-Roman Iron Age and the Roman period. The nature of the deposits encountered and artefacts recovered suggest agricultural activities defined by enclosures, pits, post-holes and field boundaries.
