Abstract:		 Sixteen geoarchaeological test pits were hand dug in order to attempt to locate two reported concentrations of prehistoric stone artefacts recorded in the late 1930's by one Mr McKerrow. The location of each was located by total station survey within the woodland landscape of the site and test pits excavated to the surface of Holocene alluvial or colluvial sediments. No artefacts were recovered from any of the test pits. However, each test pit revealed the upper part of a potentially much deeper series of Holocene sediments beyond the scope of this assessment. The complete absence of surface finds combined with the presence of this deeper sequence and evidence of historic deep interventions across the site raises the possibility that McKerrow's artefacts came from deeper preservational contexts.
