Abstract/Summary
Evaluations were carried out ahead of development. Geophysical survey covering about half of the site revealed part of an enclosure ditch. Trial trenches examined part of the ditch as well as areas inside and outside it. Archaeological features and finds were very sparse but the limited evidence indicated that the enclosure is later prehistoric or Roman. It is suggested that the enclosure was not a focus of habitation either inside or immediately outside it but may have been a corral for farm stock.
