One 4m test trench was excavated on 24 August within the 80m² footprint of a school extension. The extension comprised the provision of sheltered (and now indoor) access between two school buildings. The trench was situated to maximise on location of potentially least-disturbed ground from modern construction and avoidance of underground services. The exposed stratigraphy consisted of 0.05m tarmac surface; 0.15 – 0.2m stone and gravel bedding; 0.2 – 0.3m modern building debris (red brick, concrete blocks and stone), 0.1 – 0.15m brown grey silty clay, and surface of natural underlying subsoil of grey yellow silty sand. No archaeology was encountered.
