Abstract/Summary

A geophysical survey of the site had indicated that it had a low potential for archaeological remains, although a rectilinear anomaly, suggestive of a possible enclosure but interpreted as being of natural origin, was identified. The purpose of the evaluation was to confirm the nature of the geophysical anomaly and to test the effectiveness of the survey in the apparently 'blank' areas. The natural origin of the anomaly, which was probably formed by glacial and periglacial processes, was confirmed and no archaeological remains were encountered elsewhere within the site. Despite visual scanning of the excavated ploughsoil, no artefactual material was found.
