Test trenching was carried out at the request of the client at a pre-planning stage. This was undertaken between 4 and 11 September 2019, following a program of geophysical survey. A total of 26 test trenches were excavated, each measuring 1.8m in width and averaging 0.44m in depth. In total 1,554m of linear trenches were excavated. The trenches revealed topsoil (0.3–0.6m in thickness) overlying a natural sandy/gravelly clay, orange–yellow in colour. This investigation exposed no archaeological features, structures, deposits or artefacts. Consequently, in the event of development proceeding at the site, it is recommended that no further archaeological mitigation will be necessary.
