Archaeological Evaluation (22 October 2007 - 2 November 2007)
NM 8462 1266 An evaluation was carried out, 22 October–2 November 2007, in advance of development. Machine trenching took place across an 8% sample of the area affected by the development, a 3.2ha area of relict farmland currently under scrub and wetland grasses. A stone-built pediment of unknown function and date and three stone cairns recorded during the evaluation were subsequently excavated. The cairns were from clearance activity.
