Abstract:		 An archaeological assessment and evaluation was undertaken as a planing application for residential development. The desktop assessment identified the presence of several probable Bronze Age barrow sites in the vicinity of the proposed development area, as well as the find spots of a number of Neolithic or Bronze Age artefacts. It also demonstrated that the former hospital lay on the site of a workhouse built in 1878. Subsequently, some 26 evaluation trenches were opened. The features revealed were predominantly modern service trenches, field drains, plough furrows, and bedding trenches, but three undated pits were also recorded. No artefacts of significance were recovered and no evidence was found to suggest that the proposed housing development would have had an impact on significant archaeological remains. [Au(abr)]
