NS 0916 5566 A watching brief was carried out 11–12 October 2011 during topsoil removal associated with car access improvements close to a scheduled stone setting. The area lay due N of the monument, on the N side of a track linking the planned road with the B881. The area affected by the work measured 30m E–W by 5m N–S. The removal of c0.25m of humic topsoil revealed a bioturbated orange-brown sandy gravel subsoil. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were recorded.
