NT 2195 7400 A watching brief was undertaken 1–4 July 2008 on a topsoil strip in advance of the construction of a hockey pitch. It was thought that the remains of field or park boundaries relating to Ravelston House (NT27SW 127) might be in this area.
The topsoil was machine stripped and showed that 1960s groundworks for an earlier pitch had removed the original ground surface and disturbed much of the underlying glacial till. No remains of archaeological significance were encountered.
