Full Description
January-May 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development site (Area 16b).
No anomalies of obvious archaeological significance were identified.
It is noted that this area exhibited a high level of background magnetic noise, suggesting the plough soil is heavily contaminated with ferrous debris, brick rubble, slag or other magnetic debris.
This area is crossed by a north-north-east to south-south-west aligned gas mains. Another service of unknown type was identified at the southern edge of the site.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

December 2014-January 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of part of large proposed development area (Field 16; Trenches 103-112).
The ten trenches excavated revealed only a single feature of interest - an undated north-to-south aligned ditch or gully.
No unstratified finds recovered.
See report (S3) for further details.
