Evaluation took place on 22–26 January 2007. The monitoring involved the stripping of topsoil to facilitate the creation of a new haul road at the northern end of the site. In addition, five test-trenches were mechanically excavated across the proposed extraction area at the southern end of the site. All mechanical excavation was undertaken with a back-acting mechanical digger fitted with a toothless bucket. The peat was removed to the underlying subsoil. No archaeological deposits were uncovered within the area of the haul road or within the test-trenches during the stripping of the peat.
Editor’s note: Although excavated during 2007, the report on this site arrived too late for inclusion in the bulletin of that year.
