The evaluation revealed features of archaeological significance. • Round Barrw - bronze age. • Residue flint assemblage Much of the flint assemblage dated to the late Mesolithic, Neolithic / Bronze Ages, including a shaped arrow head. • Undated rectangular enclosure – ditches pits and ole just to the west of the potential barrow may also date from the bronze age. • 4 Iron age/ Roman (1,2 ,3,6) settlement focuses - intercutting ditches and gullies, pits, postholes and curvi-linear ditches. Charred cereals and quern oven remains indicating settlement as well as animal farmin 184 sherds of pottery were recovered ranging from Late Iron Age to Post Medieval - The report contains a more detailed analysis.
