Abstract:
The evaluation consisted of 45 machine excavated trenches across five fields. Most trenches were 100m in length. Other than post medieval boundary ditches and a possible small ring ditch gully representing what is likely to be a broadly contemporary shelter, similar to a shieling, the archaeological evaluation did not identify any surviving significant remains. The absence of features which corresponded with the geophysics plot can most likely be attributed to natural magnetic variations in the plough soil. If the anomalies had resulted from shallow archaeological features which were not visible during excavation, then the works would have expected to have encountered more finds during the sampling of the top and sub soil layers. The absence of artefacts from a sampling of both top and subsoil layers as well as during the field-walking stage would support the suggestion that it is unlikely that there was ever any settlement on or nearby to the site which can probably be attributed its flat, isolated nature within the landscape as well as the wet soil conditions of the low-lying land.
