A total of 5 test trenches were excavated. Each trench measured 1.8m in width, and in total, 260m of linear trenches were excavated. The site had been developed previously, and the ground was disturbed. There was no topsoil on the site, and gravel, hardcore, and stone were spread across the site. The gravel was over a natural that ranged from a mottled brown and light grey clay to a yellow clay. No archaeological features
or deposits were observed or exposed within the trenches. The proposed development, therefore, will have no impact on archaeological features. No further work is recommended.
