The total of in-situ archaeological features (29) represents a significant archaeological presence within the west end of the development area and is most likely to be a continuation of the Late Prehistoric archaeological landscape/settlement revealed in 2016. From trench one a total of 28 features were recorded, most were situated at the west end of the trench. An extension of the west end of the trench revealed archaeology that which comprised a group of 22 post holes and 3 pits, concentrated in and around a single linear feature. A large, perhaps square, or rectangular feature and a pit were situated within the centre of the trench. Pottery with a date range of c.1500-600BC were recovered from the fills of several of these features. The evaluation also implied that the settlement would have overlooked the natural depression, and if a spring head, the settlement may have used it as the primary source of water. In addition to these features a terminal end of a narrow linear feature was also located in trench 8, this had a NE-SW alignment and was observed
for a length of +1m. (information summarised from source) (1)
