Archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping was carried out at the site from 12 to 25 February 2019. This followed a course of test trenching carried out across the site in December 2018; no archaeology was found during this programme of testing.
There are no recorded monuments within the boundaries of the proposed development site. However, an enclosure or heavily truncated ringfort (DU014‐123) was subject to geophysical survey and archaeological testing, to the immediate east of the development area (Licence Ref.: 10E0459). A second enclosure and a second field system are located c. 475m south and 485m southwest respectively (DU014‐110 and DU0140‐107).
No archaeological features or deposits were identified during the course of monitoring. No further archaeological mitigation is deemed to be necessary in association with the development.
