Archaeological Evaluation (4 December 2013 - 4 June 2014)
Archaeological evaluations were carried out on 4 December 2013 and 4 June 2014. All trenches revealed that the site had been prepared prior to the caravan site being established and there are service trenches over much of the site. A 10% archaeological evaluation on the hill at the NE of the site revealed that the ground was very disturbed and the topsoil shallow. The broad dyke F1 was then removed and an archaeological watching brief maintained.
