Desk Based Assessment (November 2014 - March 2015)
A desk-based assessment and reconnaissance field survey have been carried out for the Proposed Development Site. Seventeen cultural heritage assets (sites and features) have been identified within the Proposed Development Site. These range in date from the early prehistoric (Neolithic/Bronze Age) to the post-medieval period and include a well-preserved cup and ring marked rock, which is a Scheduled Monument, several prehistoric artefact find-spots, a possible prehistoric enclosure and later post-medieval settlement and agrarian activity.

Field Visit (10 November 2014 - 1 March 2015)
An irregular spread of clearance stone, 25m by 3m, spread over a small slope just immediately north of a farm access track. The stone appears to have been dumped in what may have originally been a small quarry.
