"Not much could be seen as the field was planted with sugar beet but a pronounced blackness of soil was apparent at the end of the field towards S and there were many patches of stones, also a depression (ancient) which should be visible from the air. No pottery fragments could be seen on the field. BB 7/6/1951", followed by a sketch of the site (S1). October 1991: trial trenching to S to determine S limit of cemetery prior to gravel pit application, failed to locate any features other than former railway cutting. Plan of trenches in file (S3).
