Abstract:		 The evaluation, which consisted of four 35m trenches, revealed a low density of undated ditches and one pit. A small amount of butchered animal bone was retrieved from one ditch. The ditches are not shown on any historic Ordnance Survey maps which suggests that they pre-date the late 19th century when those maps were first produced on a larger scale. However, the dark, humic nature of the feature fills still suggests that the ditches were relatively modern in date and represent post-medieval plot boundary, drainage and/or agri- or horticultural features. Overburden consisted of a dark, humic garden soil which was up to 0.7m thick. The paucity of finds suggests that the site was not located near any settlement or dwellings. Overall the results of the evaluation of are of low to negligible significance.
