Abstract:		 An excavation was undertaken within the grounds of the former Springfield Lyons house, just north of a Bronze Age enclosed settlement, an Early Saxon cemetery and a Late Saxon settlement site excavated between 1981 and 1991. Those excavations also revealed the western side of a probable Neolithic causewayed enclosure, defined by a series of large pits that were demonstrated to extend across the eastern part of the current site (Plot K). Three newly-discovered pits were excavated on the projected line of the causewayed enclosure, along with the northern end of a pit that had been part-excavated during previous trenching in 1991. A small shallow pit of Neolithic date was located within the enclosure itself. A pronounced gap between the causeway pits towards the north-east corner of Plot K may indicate the position of an entranceway into the enclosure. Located within the arc of the Neolithic enclosure was the eastern half of a small roundhouse of Late Bronze Age date. Located c.70m north-east of the enclosed Late Bronze Age settlement, this is the only contemporary structure so far found outside of the enclosure. Two north-south aligned ditches were of Late Saxon date; one of them was possibly the southward continuation of a ditch found prior the development of Plots G and H, approximately 110m to the north and previously thought to have been of Late Bronze Age date. Another two north-south aligned ditches dated to the post-medieval period.
