NH 832 780 A desk-based assessment and evaluation were carried out in October 2006 on Phase 1 of a proposed housing development. No new sites were identified through the desk-based assessment. Because work had already begun on site before an archaeologist was present, only c 6.72% of the required 10% of the site could be excavated, in the form of seven trial trenches. No features or finds of archaeological significance were revealed during the evaluation. A large amount of building rubble and 19th- to 20th-century debris suggested the area has been repeatedly used as a rubbish dump in recent times.
