Pre-development test excavations were carried out on the 27th and 28th July, on behalf of a developer. Two crop-marks on aerial photographs of the area to be developed were interpreted as being of potential archaeological significance.
The 1st site showed up as a very faint, discontinuous oval-shaped mark measuring c. 104m x 85m while the 2nd was more clearly visible and was also oval-shaped, measuring c. 40m x 35m. Four trial trenches were excavated through them down to the natural boulder clay. Nothing of archaeological importance was uncovered.
