Summary

A geophysical survey of this site in 2021/2022 identified nothing of archaeological interest. Subsequent trial trenching in 2022 recorded only two parallel ditches, neither of which produced any dating evidence. One does though correspond with a former field boundary shown on a 19th-century map, suggesting both these features are of relatively recent date.
