In advance of environmental improvement work, the SUAT conducted a trial trenching assessment. Two trenches were hand excavated on the eastern side of the High Street. Both trenches measured 1m by 2m. Natural glacial sand and gravels were encountered at 0.4m below ground surface. A layer of stone setts, representing an earlier 20th-century street surface directly overlay the natural. The stone setts were sealed by the modern tarmac surface, No archaeological deposits, features or artefacts were discovered.
