Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was carried out in April 2006. Mesolithic flints have been found in large quantities within 100m of the site in areas of a similar topography. The site is close to area of significant activity from the Bronze Age to the Roman period, however the topography of the site is different and there is a low probability of this activity extending to the site. Trial trenching was carried out in July 2006. The trenching sample of 130.0 x 1.70m amounts to just over 2% of the area. This was achieved through the excavation of four 30.0m long trenches and one 10.0m trench (see Fig. 1). All trenches were 1.7 m wide and were excavated by a JCB fitted with a toothless ditching bucket. The resultant surfaces were cleaned by hand prior to limited hand excavation of any identified archaeological deposits. Ten buckets of arising were sieved from each end of Trenches 1, 2, 4 and 5 and from one end of Trench 3 to assess the density of artefacts and specifically to record lithics. No archaeological deposits were recorded.
