An archaeological evaluation was carried out in March 2004 on 0.5ha of ground to be developed for residential units, covering approximately 5% of the total development area. A representative sample of all the uncovered features with archaeological potential was investigated.
Those features investigated included: shallow linear features; numerous field drains; modern structures; and a single oval pit. Three sherds of medieval green-glazed pottery were recovered from the far N and NW of the site. A number of linear features in the N and NW of the site were assessed to have a modest archaeological significance, although they probably derive from agricultural or horticultural activity. Other features on the site were linked to modern (post-1780s) agricultural or industrial activity.
Report to be lodged with WoSAS SMR.
