Four test-trenches were opened by mechanical digger on this site to satisfy a request for further information. The first trench established the outer edge of the levelled ringfort. No development was permitted within a buffer zone outside this edge. The other three trenches were excavated in two potential locations of a percolation area and associated works to determine the presence of any potential subsurface archaeological features. No other features were identified.
