Archaeological Evaluation (October 2004)
NO 077 026 (centre) An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in October 2004 of a proposed development near the site of a Beaker cist burial (NO00SE 3). Four trenches were excavated, representing about 5% of the development area. No features of archaeological interest were found. One sherd of a stoneware handle was recovered, along with some post-medieval/modern china, presumably representing manuring of the field.
