Excavation (2 March 2009 - 16 March 2009)
NS 3290 4099 (centred on) An excavation was carried out 2–16 March 2009 before the construction of a house. The work involved the machine-stripping and hand-cleaning of three areas (B-D), a total of 677m2, followed by the hand-excavation of any exposed archaeological features.
The excavation revealed a series of negative features consisting of a possible ring ditch burial and a series of
probable prehistoric pits. The role, date and function of this group of features are uncertain. A number of artefacts, including pottery, and ecofacts were also retrieved.
