Description
Evaluation trenching did not reveal any features, except a well of early to mid 20th century date, or any finds of pre-1900 date. The evaluation did confirm that the ground water level at the site is high and it is likely that this factor discouraged activity of any intensity in the past though it did encourage the local production of potash in the later Post medieval period as evidenced by the adjacent 'Potash Farm' name.
