An archaeological evaluation was required in advance of the proposed construction of a private dwelling. The proposed development site is located c. 100m west of the site of a cist burial (TYR043–052) excavated by Dudley Waterman in 1958. The site is also located just over 100m from a ruined mill on the Camowen River. The OS memoirs for 1834 record the local tradition that this mill was built on the site of an earlier abbey (TYR043–060), although there is no physical evidence that this is the case. A monitored topsoil-strip was carried out on an area measuring c. 1120m2 within the site. Nothing of archaeological significance was uncovered.
