A total of 4 test trenches were excavated. Each trench measured 1.8m in width, and in total, 256m of linear trenches were excavated. The topsoil was a mid-brown silty clay. The natural was a mottled orange and grey silty clay with moderate stones. Modern agricultural features were noted in the trenches in the form of northwest-to-southeast aligned agricultural furrows. No archaeological structures, features or deposits were identified within the trenches, therefore the proposed development will have no impact on archaeological features. No further work is recommended.
