An area of 885m² was mechanically stripped under archaeological supervision but no significant archaeological finds or features were encountered and therefore no further work was recommended. <1> A metal detecting survey and a watching brief on GI test pitting had also previoulsy been undertaken at the site - see EHG6401 and EHG6402.
