Archaeological Evaluation (13 April 2007)
NS 875 798 Trial trenching and the investigation of the hole left by an uprooted tree were undertaken on the at Bantaskin on 13 April 2007, The aim was to find the depths of the upper deposits ahead of scarification being conducted as part of a wider restorative landscaping initiative designed to make this previously overgrown stretch of the wall accessible to the public. As the scarification would affect a maximum of 100mm depth, the trial trenches were cut to this depth. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were encountered.
