Full Description

March 2013: A geophysical Magnetometry survey was carried out and revealed a number of anomalies of possible archaeological origin (S1).

December 2013: Archaeological evaluation trenching revealed a series of ditches that are likely to be field boundaries that relate to the extensive field system recorded on the aerial photographs in the area. No dating evidence was recovered but all the features appear to pre-date the enclosure map of 1807. It is possible that some of these ditches could be prehistoric or Roman in date. The evaluation results show that the possible archaeological features identified by geophysical survey on the site are in fact natural features (S2).

2015: Archaeological monitoring on the site revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest (S3).
