NJ 19803 69090 and NJ 20667 69880 An evaluation was undertaken, 12 – 21 March 2018, of land to the S of the northern taxiway prior to the widening of the taxiway. The work established that much of the area had been extensively landscaped during the construction of the airfield in the late 1930s, but that in some areas archaeological deposits of unknown age do exist. These features are generally shallow and truncated by the landscaping. It is probable that they are prehistoric in date, due to their similarities in shape and form to cropmarks in the area. Areas of low ground had been filled-in with material removed from areas of higher ground, where the natural was recorded only 0.15m below the current ground surface. Immediately prior to this landscaping, a series of dumps of modern material were made in the area to the SW of the old graveyard.
