NO 80060 74720 On 12 July 2022 a watching brief was undertaken over the groundbreaking works for a new cemetery. A very shallow hollow in the top of the natural was considered a natural water or ice-formed feature, filled with topsoil, and disturbed by a burrow. A small, undiagnostic prehistoric sherd and flecks of charcoal in the topsoil fill indicate some low level anthropomorphic activity in the area.
