Description
An archaeological evaluation was carried our prior to the construction of a housing development. The evaluation consisted of 14 trenches across the site. The trenches measured between 15-25m by 1.80-2.10 and were excavated to a depth of between 0.35m and 1.50m. Ten of the trenches revealed no archaeological finds or features. Four test pits were excavated around trench 14, in order to investigate a colluvial deposit containing struck flint fragments (S1).
