HY 296 211 An archaeological evaluation of 5% of the area was carried out in October 2006 out in advance of proposed housing development. The area is adjacent to two burnt mounds (HY22 SE11) that are scheduled ancient monuments. A possible destroyed setting for a small standing stone was discovered, together with features probably relating to agricultural clearance of the land in the historic period.
