Excavation (2001)
A pattern of 25m square test pits was dug over the only field available in October 2001. Over 100 pieces of struck stone were recovered by a programme of sieving. Only three small features were located, in a single test pit. One, a scatter of small stones, produced three sherds of prehistoric pottery and charcoal. Extending the test pit revealed no further features.
