Abstract/Summary
This evaluation investigated two areas. Five trenches were cut within the footprint of a proposed annex to the School. One trench revealed a substantial, but undated feature. It was interpreted as either the edge of a Bronze Age barrow ditch, another section of which had been exposed during excavations in 1970-74 (see TR 36 NE 13), or the edge of a late chalk quarry. A linear exposed in two of the other trenches was interpreted as a post medieval field boundary. In the second area two trenches were excavated to the south of the school, on the site of a proposed car park. Two features identified in one of the trenches were interpreted as inhumation burials and as such were likely to be of Anglo-Saxon date (see TR 36 NE 12).
