One test-trench was excavated on this proposed development site. The stratigraphy on site consisted mainly of rubble in a mid-brown sandy soil overlying a natural subsoil that comprised a coarse gravel at the north and clay at the south. The presence of a stem of a clay pipe and sherds of 19th/20th-century pottery in the topsoil suggests that development on the site dates to this period.
