Excavation of foundation trenches for several new dwellings was monitored.
The trenches reached a depth of 0.50m to 0.65m and exposed 0.30-0.39m of friable, sandy silt topsoil overlaying 0.15m to 0.26m of clay silt subsoil, which in turn overlaid natural sandy gravel. No archaeological features or finds were observed.
