An evaluation was carried out in August and September 2005 ahead of the construction of a new university campus. The area generally has high archaeological potential and human remains were discovered by chance on a spoil heap during

preparatory works in August 2005 (see entry above).

A 5% sample was trenched, equating to 7 105m². Several trenches were targeted on the area where the human remains were found, but no additional burials were uncovered. The bones did not come from a secure context, and probably date to the post-medieval period. The remaining features were post-medieval field drains and extensive areas of rig and furrow, one furrow containing a fragment of pottery dating to the 15th/16th century. No other features of

archaeological significance were discovered.
