Site identified by [1], who was observing the stripped road line during construction. A number of archaeologically significant features were subsequently examined by D. Gurney (NLA). These included part of the eaves-drip gully of a Iron Age house. This feature contained pottery and potboilers. Several patches of pot boilers were also identified nearby, these apparently representing the very bases of features.
