NT 1650 6730 An evaluation was undertaken, 23 January – 2 February 2017, prior to a residential development on land next to Newmills Road. A total of 69 trenches, covering 3700m2 were excavated across the area. Within five of the trenches, concentrated on the slope in the northern corner of the site, four pits and two ditches were revealed that may
represent prehistoric activity. The lowest lying part of the site contained a deposit of up to 1m of peat, with numerous post-medieval drains and dykes running through it that were partly visible on the surface. This network of drains was also prevalent across the rest of the area with a large number of rubble and ceramic tile drains encountered, alongside two probable field boundary ditches from the same period.
