Archaeological Evaluation (26 June 2013 - 27 June 2013)
NS 53566 58609 A trial trenching evaluation was undertaken, 26–27 June 2013, prior to development. A total of 13 trenches, covering 458m, were excavated with the goal of locating evidence of Clogholes Farmstead, which is marked on the 1st Edition OS map. No evidence of the farmstead was located; however, the foundations of a stone boundary wall thought to be contemporary with the farmstead were recorded. Two linear ditches were also identified, although the modern finds recovered from the fills indicated they were 20th-century in date. The finds included a number of bullet cartridges associated with the area’s use as a rifle range in the early 20th century. A number of tile field drains were also noted.
