Testing was undertaken at a proposed development site on 29 May 2002. The site is near a castle (site) (SMR 9:9), which is situated a minimum of c. 60m from the boundaries of the development site. There are no extant or surface traces of this monument.

The testing consisted of the mechanical excavation of five trenches within the confines of the site. It revealed a layer of topsoil, 0.32m deep, overlying stiff, sandy clay subsoil. No features or artefacts of archaeological interest were uncovered.
