Description
The archaeological evaluation of the site was carried out by monitoring two mechanically excavated engineering test-pits, primarily with a view to recording the depth of overburden masking the archaeological deposits. The naturally occurring sand and gravel subsoil was encountered at a minimum depth of 2.2 metres. Four pits were recorded, one in Test-Pit 1 and three in Test-Pit 2.
