Five trenches were mechanically excavated within the site of the former Sunbeam factory. The mill building which stood immediately to the south-west was destroyed by fire in 2003 and is not within the footprint of the proposed development site. A limestone flag surface was revealed at the east of the site which may be associated with the mill. No other features of archaeological potential were revealed.
