Monitoring of topsoil removal was carried at the development of a single dwelling and garage. The site consisted of a level field of semi-improved pasture which also contained a standing stone (CO072-010). A 20m buffer zone was initially set up before the topsoil was removed over the footprint of the dwelling, garage and driveway. Between 0.3m and 0.5m of a mid-brown loamy topsoil overlay an orange boulder clay which changed to grey gravels along the western half of the area. No archaeology was found.
