A series of small blocks within the Meldrum house estate are being developed for housing. Evaluation of four areas did not reveal any archaeological features or finds. A trench across the yard in front of the 19th-century kennels showed that a water-filled feature on the 1867 OS map had been a bitumen-lined pool, presumably for the dogs. Fieldwalking was undertaken in woods around the development. Well-preserved rig and furrow was recorded on the SE perimeter of the estate (NJ 81670 28890), pre-dating the woodland which is shown on a 1780 estate plan.
