NM 7961 1335 An evaluation was undertaken, 8–12 May 2017, in advance of the demolition of a house and the construction of a new house. Five trenches were excavated to natural geology on the W, S and E sides of the existing house.
Trench 1, on the W flank of the house, revealed linear drainage features associated with the house and a linear ditch of uncertain date. Trenches 2–4 were excavated to the S of the house. Trench 2 contained no finds or features. Trench 3 exposed a single linear feature of uncertain date. Trench 4 exposed a possible stone concentration and modern asphalt
feature probably associated with the house road construction. Trench 5, sited on the slope to the E of the house, revealed a c0.80m thick charcoal and animal-bone rich garden soil or midden deposit, sealing two linear features, from one of which a rotary-quern fragment was recovered.
