Archaeological evaluation reveals varying densities of archaeological features across different site elevations, suggesting distinct activity patterns.

Key Points

To evaluate archaeological features in a former agricultural field adjacent to Cottage Road and Faringdon Road.
Excavated 29 trenches measuring 30m x 1.85m under archaeological supervision.
Visual and metal detection scanning of spoil, with recording according to John Moore Heritage Services standards.
Surveying with sub-cm RTK GNNS equipment to document stratigraphy.
The northern area had 16 trenches with significant archaeological features, including 13 pits and 16 ditches.
The southern area had a lower density of features, possibly due to its smaller extent.
Ditches exhibited orientations indicating drainage or boundary functions, with sterile fills limiting further interpretation.
