Fourteen trial trenches were excavated at the site of a proposed solar array following geophysical testing that identified a number of potential features. Five trenches yielded evidence that corresponded with features recorded during the geophysical survey but none of these features were seen to be archaeological and the pre-development testing did not result in the discovery of heretofore unknown or unrecorded archaeological material.
