NHER 69145 (Negative evidence record) - Site where limited groundworks revealed no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains

December 2014. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new driveway.
The route of this new driveway was subject to only a relatively shallow strip, which did not fully remove the topsoil layer. As a result nothing of archaeological interest was observed. A small number of unstratified medieval and post-medieval finds were recovered.
See report (S1) and NHER 25835 for further details.

August 2017 and March 2018. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of third new bungalow (Plot 3).

No finds were recovered.
