Description

An archaeological evaluation was carried out prior to the development of the site for new houses. A total of five trenches were excavated, although two more were planned but were unable to be excavated due to the presence of a live overhead cable passing through the site. The trenches only revealed a pond which was infilled in the 19th century. Observations of a geotechnical test-pit and a deep hole forming part of the services for the new buildings did not identify any finds or features of archaeological interest. A building recording was made for the Northwest wing of the stabling building for The Sorrel Horse Inn as it would be possibly affected by the development.
