The works comprised the Strip, Map and Sample of three building footprints and Archaeological Observation, Investigation, Recording, Analysis and Publication (OIRAP) during intrusive ground works associated with the development. The early medieval activity on the site consisted of two circular enclosures, in addition to a collection of pits and postholes which did not form any clear structures. A watering hole believed to be used by livestock was also identified. The later medieval activity focussed on the establishment of two plots, which was further sub-divided by ditches.An isolated post-medieval pit and a modern dog burial was also found within the main excavation area. Two other areas were monitored during these works; a large early medieval ditch was identified in the northern area and several early medieval postholes and pits were identified in the southern area.
