The site of the proposed development (four semi-detached houses) is beside an 18th-century church, SMR 88:6. Monitoring of topsoil-stripping was carried out. Stripping of the area of the proposed houses exposed natural boulder clay at a depth of 0.3-0.4m over the entire area. Some modern pottery and glass fragments were recovered, but there were no features of archaeological significance. The development has no impact on archaeological deposits, and no further work is proposed.
