Monitoring of topsoil clearance for the construction of a dwelling was undertaken on 21 August 2000. The site had been tested in 1997 by Alan Hayden (Excavations 1997, 90), but since then considerable ground disturbance without archaeological supervision had occurred. Infilled foundations from 1998 were evident in the subsoil. Several shallow features, identified as cultivation furrows and tree-root disturbance, were excavated; none produced finds. Sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the remaining topsoil, but the later strata of cultivation had been removed prior to this construction phase.
