Trial Trench
Prior to a small development, a programme of arcghaeological works consisting of an evaluation and a Level 1 Historic Building Recording excercise was undertaken. Historical records indicate that the medieval village of Hassendean was located here. The field evaluation consisted of 3 trenches totalling 30 linear metres. No significant archaeological features were identified. The building survey recorded a single railway platform associated with the sidings at Hassendean Station. The railway was constructed in 1849 and closed in 1969. No other upstanding buildings remained within the development area.
