Abstract:		 Trial trenching took place in order to assess the reliability of results from previous assessment works and to provide additional information on date, nature and preservation. Six trial trenches, totalling 600m2, were targeted on ditch- and pit-type geophysical anomalies. The trial trenching has investigated three archaeological sites which were initially identified by geophysical survey. It has provided some information on their date, nature and level of preservation. However, their full extent and any spatial variations within them are still unknown. This could only be achieved by further trial trenching at a higher percentage coverage. In addition, because non-intrusive survey, which has been undertaken extensively along the route, is notorious for under-representing the sub-surface archaeological features, additional sites may exist within the road corridor which can only be located by more extensive, arrayed trial trenching.
