Testing was undertaken in advance of the proposed building of ten holiday cottages. All trenches but one were archaeologically sterile. One trench showed in section two cuts filled with shells. The middens contained a high frequency of cockle-shells, with some periwinkles and limpets. Also in this trench was a cut into the boulder clay to a max. depth of 1.05m, which at its widest point measured 5m. This possible ditch or pit (?) had at its base two sherds of unglazed cooking ware. Further monitoring was recommended.
