NS 8795 9240 A trial trench evaluation was undertaken, in March 2022, in advance of constructing an air separation unit. Nine trial trenches were excavated that targeted potential features highlighted on historic mapping. The majority of the trenches contained brick floor surfaces and a few small sections of foundation wall related to 19th- and 20th-century industrial activity on the site. The most significant feature was a likely brick pottery kiln base not noted on any of the historic maps. The possible remains of a rectangular brick kiln noted on the 1862 map were also uncovered.
