NS 530 586 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken, 26–27 August 2013, during topsoil stripping in advance of a residential development. The area was considered of interest as previous work in 2006 had indicated the possible presence of a lime kiln on the site. A kiln was located and fully excavated during the works. A pit containing pottery dating to the 16th century, together with charcoal and burnt bone fragments, was also recorded. In addition, a number of pottery fragments broadly dated to the 13th to 16th century were recovered from the interface between the topsoil and subsoil.
