Abstract: |
An initial field visit was followed by geophysical survey of a sample area of the site. 11 trial trenches were then excavated in order to both investigate features identified through the field visit and geophysical survey and to provide a random sample of the archaeological potential of the site. The trenches revealed evidence of probable geological activity, limited agricultural activity of medieval or post-medieval date and recent attempts to improve drainage. With the exception of a single sherd of medieval pottery recovered from the topsoil, there was no conclusive evidence of anthropogenic activity at the site prior to the post-medieval period.
