Abstract:		 A total of eight trenches were excavated. As archaeological features appeared to continue beyond the southwestern baulk of Trench 6, it was agreed that the trench would be extended as far as practically possible, in order to investigate the potential archaeology fully. The trenches were excavated by use of a mechanical excavator, equipped with a toothless bucket, whilst under constant archaeological supervision. Archaeologically non-significant overburden was mechanically removed down to the top of the archaeologically significant horizon or the natural, whichever was encountered first. The archaeological evaluation identified a single discrete pit or large posthole ([602]) in Trench 6. Artefactual evidence recovered from this feature has been dated to the 12th to 14th centuries. Adjacent to this feature was a possible undated pit/posthole ([604]), however, following 100% excavation of this feature it was not clear if this was archaeological in nature and the lack of any charcoal within fill (605) would also suggest that the feature is not anthropomorphic. The evaluation has revealed the presence of limited archaeological evidence dating to the Medieval period. The presence of intact and undisturbed subsoils within the trenches would suggest that if there were further archaeology within the study area then it is likely to be well preserved. However, the evaluation trenches across the remainder of the site were devoid of archaeological finds or features, which suggested that these areas were of low archaeological potential.
