Test-trenching was undertaken before construction of an extension to a national school building located within the zone of archaeological potential surrounding a church and graveyard (KK023–072–01/02). The existing school building was constructed in 1949 in a greenfield area outside the southern line of the graveyard wall. Three test-trenches were excavated and no features or finds of archaeological interest were uncovered.
