NS 960 216 In March 2001, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed housing development. An area of c 5% of the initial development area was evaluated prior to construction.
Evidence of agricultural activity in the form of furrow marks was recorded, as well as a number of stone-filled field drains. The stratigraphy and fills of these features suggested that they were post-medieval in origin. (GUARD 1017).

NR 960 216 An evaluation was carried out in March 2004 in advance of the proposed second phase of a housing development (see DES 2001, 70). Evidence for past agricultural activity was observed in the northern part of the site, in the form of stone-filled field drains. In the southern part of the site, two archaeological features were observed - a pit and a post-hole. The pit contained a decorated rim and other potsherds, a flint flake and pitchstone flakes; the artefacts suggest a Bronze Age date. The post-hole, 5m to the W, contained no artefacts.
Report lodged with WoSAS SMR and the NMRS.
