Trial Trench (17 March 2011 - 4 April 2011)
NH 7023 4430 A desk-based assessment and trial trenching evaluation were undertaken 17 March–4 April 2011 in advance of the proposed construction of two houses. The desk-based assessment indicated that no sites had been identified in the area; however, a pair of Bronze/Iron Age hut circles were noted in 1885 c400m ESE of the site. An OS visit to this site in 1970 found that they had been destroyed by development. A total of six trenches covering c7.7% (95sqm) of the available area were machine excavated. The trenches all initially measured 1.5m wide by 10m long; however, Trench 4 was subsequently extended to 13m. No artefacts or features of archaeological significance were recorded.
