Due to the proximity of known Bronze Age burial cists, an archaeological evaluation was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Ltd of an area proposed for development at Allanton. The trial trench evaluation of over 8 % of the 8.7 ha development area encountered two isolated archaeological features comprising a small post-hole and a shallow pit, none of which are deemed archaeological significant. A possible prehistoric flint scraper and a rim sherd of a medieval white gritty jug were also found in topsoil from a separate location within the development area.
