NF 101 995 (centred on) Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was undertaken between 3–7 September 2007 with the aim of identifying any surviving Bronze Age cists. Only a small area could be investigated in the time available and while many anomalies of potential archaeological interest have been detected no responses clearly indicative of cists were noted. A small area of resistance survey was carried out over the suspected location of St Columbus Chapel and the results show a well defined rectilinear response likely to be associated with the Chapel. Unfortunately it would appear that much of the chapel was lost during road construction.
