NHER 64800 (Monument record) - Undated pits

January-May 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of rectangular block in north-east corner of field (Area 13).
No anomalies of obvious archaeological significance were identified.
The area was dominated by 'patterned ground' geological anomalies. A small number of scattered discrete ferrous anomalies were most likely caused by modern debris in the topsoil.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

November 2014. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (Field 13).
Although this phase of work saw the entire examined no anomalies of obvious archaeological significance were identified.
The area was dominated by 'patterned ground' geological anomalies. Scattered discrete ferrous anomalies were most likely caused by modern debris in the topsoil.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.

December 2014-January 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of part of large proposed development area (Field 13; Trenches 24-46).
The twenty-three trenches excavated in this field revealed five probable pits, none of which produced any dating evidence. The most notable of these was a substantial ovoid feature in the south-east corner of the site which had a very dark, blue-black primary fill. Several of the other, scattered, smaller pits also had dark fills.
No unstratified finds recovered.
See report (S3) for further details.
