{1} Archaeological evaluation comprising 20 trenches. The evaluation revealed one cluster of archaeological features along with a few isolated ditches.

Some of these features correspond to anomalies identified during a previous geophysical survey. A small assemblage of prehistoric pottery was recovered.
