Full Description
January-May 2010. Geophysical survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development area at northern end of site (Area 15b).
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.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

May 2023. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site of proposed electrical substation and route of associated supply cabling.
The nine trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits.
A trench placed to investigate a north-north-east to south-south-west aligned cropmark visible on aerial photographs (NHER 53467) demonstrated that this coincided with a periglacial feature.
See report (S3) for further details.
