The recorded site of a barrow, DU015-074, is located at the north-eastern end of the factory grounds, where there is a tree-covered grass mound. Two test trenches were excavated into the lawn area to the north of the car park, north-west of the mound, where it is proposed to locate a Primary Firewater Basin. The trenches measured 4.1m by 1.4m and 3.3m by 1.3m. Their excavation revealed deep deposits of modern fill, and subsoil was revealed at 3m and 3.3m. Cadbury’s sweet tins within the lower fill indicate that this ground was built up sometime after 1964. No evidence for archaeological features or finds was uncovered.
