The evaluation required a 10% trenching sample of the development area totalling 500 m2. Due to the presence of mature trees and bushes, as well as live electric cables either side of the current driveway, and a high voltage cable along the eastern edge of the site, the total amount evaluated equated to 120 m2. A total of five trenches of varying lengths and alignments were excavated throughout the site, encountering up to 2 m of made ground and landscaping between the driveway and the house. To the S of the driveway the trenches showed abundant root disturbance around the trees and bushes, and no significant archaeological features or artefacts were revealed on the sloping ground at the far S of the development area. No further works are considered necessary within the development area.
