An evaluation was carried out here in advance of development for a single dwelling and detached garage. Four trenches (each measuring approximately 20m in length by 2m in width) were excavated to the surface of the natural subsoil. Two sherds of prehistoric pottery, possibly Neolithic, were recovered from topsoil deposits, although nothing of archaeological significance was noted in any of the trenches. It is thought that the pottery sherds are intrusive finds.
