Summary

A watching brief maintained during groundworks at this location in 2013 recorded no archaeologically-significant remains. Although the works were fairly limited in scope these results do at least suggest this site probably lay beyond the limits of the Roman or later inhuman cemetery centred to the north (NHER 4257)
