Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of two trenches within the site. The evaluation identified the presence of six ditches on multiple alignments, which appeared to represent at least two phases of activity. Pottery recovered from the evaluation indicated that the majority of the ditches most likely represented early Medieval features, which was entirely consistent with the results of the excavations north of the current site. Two ditches, represented later activity; although they remained poorly dated. Ditch [105] contained a charcoal-rich fill (106), which also contained patches of possible heated clay. This was similar to a charcoal-rich ditch fill present approximately 20m to the northeast, which was identified in the previous excavations. The occurrence of two similar, charcoal-rich features, at least 20m apart, suggested that there is a potential for the presence of evidence related to possible later Medieval/Post-medieval industrial activity in this general locale. There was no evidence for a continuation of the Post-medieval/early Modern regular quarry pits, which were present within Area 2 of the previous excavations.
