Abstract:		 For a full description of the archaeological methodology please refer to Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) (Orion Heritage Ltd 2019) All works were carried out in accordance with the approved WSI (Orion Heritage Ltd 2019) the Code of Conduct as set out by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (Chartered Institute for Archaeologists 2021) and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Field Evaluation (CIfA 2020) The archaeological evaluation consisted of 7 trenches. Trenches 1,3 and 5 were 30m x1.8m and 4,6 and 7 were 40m x 1.8m. Trench 2 in agreement with APAS was 15m in length rather than 30m due to the fencing around the site. 8.4. The natural sands were encountered in all trenches between 0.3 and 0.6m bgl. 8.5. Trenches 2 and 7 were devoid of any archaeological features. 8.6. The site is currently open fields with no field boundaries. The linear features in trenches 1 and 5 were east-west aligned and correspond to the historic field boundaries seen in the historic mapping (Plate 14). In trench 1, it is likely that the field boundary was a hedgerow whereas in trench 5 it is likely to be a boundary ditch. In trench 3, the linear identified in the trench was aligned roughly north-south, in the historic mapping the field boundary appears just to the east of the trench. It is highly likely however, that the interpreted hedgerow in the trench is the historic field boundary. 8.6.1. Modern field drains encountered in trench 6 suggest that the area to the centre of the site would habitually become waterlogged and the function is likely to be related to use of the land for agricultural activity. 8.6.2. There is a small, modern cut pit with sheep remains in the north-west of the site. 8.6.3. Trench 4 targeted the possible burning spread in the north-west area of the site. Deposit (402) showed it to have an irregular shape with apparent rooting and under 5% charcoal. Therefore, it is highly likely that this represents a tree bowl. 8.6.4. The Archaeological Evaluation of 7 trenches did not show any evidence of Prehistoric, Roman or Medieval activity within the site. 8.6.5. The evaluation showed the location and alignment of historic field boundaries seen in the historic mapping and no longer in use. 8.6.6. No further archaeological work is recommended in relation to the proposed development.
