Full Description
An evaluation was carried out by Scotia Archaeology in June 2009 in advance of a proposed industrial development. A total of 15 trenches were excavated across the site, and it became clear that the area was heavily disturbed. In several trenches large test pits were cut into these sandy materials to assess their depths and character. In so doing, very modern artefacts including lumps and spreads of degraded tarmac, binding straps, polythene sheeting and plastic twine were retrieved at depths of 1m and more. Clearly, the large-scale ground disturbance which spread over most of the development area was a recent event although it is not known how, why or when it happened. In the small areas where undisturbed sand was exposed, no features of archaeological significance were found.
