Abstract:		 The project was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of The Management of Archaeological Projects 2nd ed. 1991 and the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists’ Code of Conduct. Photographs were taken using a DSLR. Where possible and safe, a 1 or 2m scale was used in the photographs. An archaeologist was present during the groundworks. Ground excavation was carried out with a toothless bucket with opportunities for archaeological observation. The attending archaeologist was given opportunity to direct the machine to stop to allow inspection, excavation and/or recording of potential archaeological features. Where archaeological features were deemed to be present they were archaeologically exposed and recorded. Spoil was searched with a metal detector for finds. Three features were identified. The first was a shallow pit or ditch with pebbles at its base seen in the western facing section of trench 1. The feature was allocated context numbers [03] for the cut and (04) for the fill. The second was a ditch identified in the east and west facing sections of trench 1. This ditch was also seen in the north facing and south facing sections of trench 2. The cut was numbered context [07] and context (08) for the fill. A small amount of roman ceramic building materials (CBM) was located in the fill, however this material may be washed in debris and the ditches date remains undetermined. The third feature was seen in trench 3, this was a wide shallow pit containing charcoal and brick fragments. This feature was allocated contexts [09] for the cut and (08) for the fill. The fill contained a small amount of post-medieval finds and was interpreted as a post medieval pit.
