Following an assessment of this site in advance of a proposed industrial development, an area of potential archaeological interest was identified. The feature comprised an elongated grass-covered mound, 36m east–west by 9m and 1m high. It was at the top of a steep escarpment, overlooking a quarried area. A test-trench was excavated across the mound using a mechanical digger. The mound was found to be of recent origin and of no archaeological importance.
