Description
Four trenches were excavated during the works, measuring 1.6m wide and between 8 and 13.3m in length. The archaeological activity was limited to Trench 3, where evidence of terracing, cut into the sandstone bedrock was recorded. The terracing is likely to have been constructed and utilised for agricultural purposes to form level elongated fields. The date of the terracing remains inconclusive as the site was completely devoid of in-situ dating material. A very small assemblage of pottery sherds dating to the 10th to 15th centuries was recovered from the topsoil in Trench 2, however, this does not provide firm dating evidence for the terracing.
