Full Description
In 2011 a metal detector survey was undertaken on the site of a proposed school development in fields to the west of Alford. The area was thought to possibly contain evidence relating to the Battle of Alford (1645). No metal finds associated with the Battle of Alford were recovered by the survey. Similarly no finds of archaeological significance from either earlier or later periods were unearthed. A watching brief was carried out in 2013. There were no features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance recorded.
