Six trenches were excavated across the site in advance of development.  A small oval pit (1.3m by 1.2m by 0.18m deep) was identified which contained some heat-fractured stone and charcoal. A portion of the charcoal in the fill seemed to be derived from in situ root burning. No finds were identified. It is uncertain whether the pit is ancient or modern in date.
