Abstract:		 A total of three evaluation trenches (Trenches 01-03), each 1.60m wide and measuring c.30m in length, were excavated by mechanical excavator to the depth of in situ weathered natural using a toothless grading bucket under archaeological supervision. Exposed archaeological deposits were excavated by hand in accordance with the WSI and CIfA guidelines. The stratigraphy of the site comprised topsoil, mid grey-brown friable-soft silt-clay c.0.10-0.20m thick; overlying lower topsoil, mid yellow-grey-brown friable-soft silt-clay up to 0.20m thick; subsoil, mid yellow-brown friable silt up to 0.40m thick; and the natural, mid yellow firm-soft clay and shillet bedrock. A total of seven archaeological features were identified during the evaluation, all land- and field-drains. Where excavated these were identified as measuring 0.35m wide and 0.20-0.30m deep with near vertical sloping sides, clear break of slope and concave to flat bases. All but one example comprised sub-angular stone set within mid brown-grey soft clay; drain [206] measuring 0.50m wide and comprising a ceramic land-drain within mid grey-yellow-brown soft-friable clay-silt. Only a small scattering of finds was noted, all white refined earthenware pottery sherds. These were subsequently discarded.
