Full Description
A trial trenching evaluation was carried out by MAS In April 2009, MAS on a site proposed for future development. A total of 12 trenches were excavated comprising 15 percent of the development area. In all the trenches there was a varying depth of topsoil overlying natural glacial till. Some small areas of burnt material all appeared to be of recent origin, with ashes ploughed into the subsoil on top of natural. A recent (20-50 years) burial of pig bones and water pipes feeding the water troughs on the dyke line were also observed. No archaeological finds or features were observed in the evaluation area.
