Description
{1} Three trenches were excavated targeting the footprint of the proposed development and adjacent open areas. The evaluation identified one undated ditch, probably of fairly recent origin and potentially having had an agricultural function, perhaps for drainage purposes or serving as part of a boundary. In addition, Modern period development was evidenced with the dumped and levelling deposits and Tarmac surfacing and the remains of a concrete wall cut and foundation.
