Details An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by the CFA in January 2001. In total, 87 trenches were opened in the process. The shallow depth of topsoil and the presence of ploughmarks scored into the subsoil surface indicates less substantial features would have been ploughed out. The trial trenching located few artefacts or features of archaeological significance with the exception of two isolated pits of unspecified date and a modern pit. The finds recovered from these features are consistent with post medieval midden spreading practices. Aerial photography had indicated extensive rig and furrow remains and this was confirmed by the evaluation. The furrows do not respect current field boundaries nor the other field boundaries visible on aerial photographs and maps. It is possible they represent Medieval or later agricultural land use.
