NT 2337 7595 An evaluation was carried out, 17–19 September 2013, on the site of the former football ground prior to its proposed development. The evaluation of 10% of the 2.13ha area was restricted by the presence of numerous live services and exclusion zones. The majority of the area had been heavily truncated and only a small pocket of undisturbed ground, containing a relict ploughsoil, was located in the NE part of the site. With the exception of a single sherd of medieval White Gritty Ware recovered from the imported topsoil, no archaeological remains predating the late 19th/early 20th centuries were recorded.
