Pre-development testing took place in advance of the construction of a single house, access and septic tank. The site of the proposed development is within the same field as a portion of an ancient route known locally as ‘the Red Earl’s Road’. Six trenches (two located across the supposed line of the road) were excavated to a depth of 0.6–1m. No archaeological remains or features were uncovered. No sign of the road, above ground or below, was revealed.
