Monitoring of topsoil clearance took place at the site of a proposed IDA Business Park from 7 April to 29 May 1997. No evidence of archaeological activity was found during the earth clearance, but several flint artefacts were found in the vicinity of a nearby disused quarry which was used for infill. The flint was found while field-walking the ploughed field immediately adjacent to the quarry. One blade, one scraper and three other struck flints were found.
