A programme of archaeological testing consisting of the excavation of 14 linear trenches, was conducted on 2 and 3 February 2022. Some of these trenches were designed to target geophysical anomalies identified during a previous survey (licence 21R0075) carried out in May 2021. A number of these anomalies were located and investigated within the trenches, however, none of them has proven to be of an archaeological nature. Overall, the trenches contained evidence of certain disturbance caused by intense agricultural activity (furrows and drains), as well as stone quarrying.

No features, or deposits of archaeological consequence were observed within the trenches during this programme.
