Abstract:		 The evaluation was carried out using a JCB mechanical excavator fitted with a 1.6m toothless bucket to excavate a single 20m trench, orientated north east/south west and within the footprint of the proposed building. The trench was sited on a relatively level area adjacent to the existing building and above the steeply sloping ground to the west. This area was also less likely to have suffered either disturbance from tree roots, or from the construction of the existing building. The machining process was carefully watched for the occurrence of any features or artefacts of archaeological interest, which might relate to ancient activity in the immediate vicinity. The natural surface below the subsoil, or below any ‘made-ground’ was carefully examined for evidence of features cutting it and hand excavation and recording carried out as necessary. Good archaeological coverage of the area to be developed was achieved and the natural geology was exposed along the whole of the length of the trench. No archaeological finds or features were discovered, despite thorough examination of the machined surface and spoil. The stratigraphy was variable and the presence of a localised layer of colluvium should be noted for any future developments on similar terrain in the locality, as although in this case no archaeology was identified, such evidence may survive intact underneath similar deposits. On the basis of the above information it is recommended that no further archaeological fieldwork is required in respect of this development scheme.
