Abstract:		 The groundworks required for a new access road entailed the excavation of a strip of land adjacent to the present road. The works required for the new Design and Technology Centre entailed the demolition of two separate buildings and the excavation of foundation trenches for the footings of one single building. Four features, with finds ranging in date from the prehistoric to modern were observed from both the new vehicle drop off lane and turning point site and new Design and Technology Centre. A quarter of the new access road and turning point site had been heavily truncated by modern services with the remaining three quarters affected by heavy rooting. Numerous natural depressions and rooting boles were investigated, from which only one archaeological feature was noted.The foundations and landscaping associated with the two former buildings within the location of the Design and Technology Centre had caused heavy truncation in the north-west end of the site. However one possible ditch/gully terminus, a large refuse pit, a horse burial and the remnants of a dog burial were observed within the southern side of site. All the features are thought to be late post-medieval in date.
