Abstract:		 A single evaluation Trench measuring c. 1.8m × c. 25m and two Trial-Holes measuring c. 1.8m × c. 4m were excavated; these were situated in order to best investigate the archaeological potential directly beneath the footprint of the proposed construction with the Trial-Holes located in order to provide potential to alter (slightly) the precise location of the construction, should the need arise. Trenches were opened by machine using a wide-bladed toothless ditching bucket operating under archaeological supervision. Undifferentiated topsoil and overburden of recent origin was removed in level spits by the machine down to the first significant archaeological or geological horizon. Each trench was cleaned by hand sufficiently to allow the identification and planning of archaeological features and scanned with a metal-detector. Each trench was planned at an appropriate scale. Spot levels were taken as appropriate. In order to assess the archaeological and palaeoenvironmental potential of the Site in advance of the construction of a multifunction dining facility with associated facilities, and upon the advice of the AAHC, a single evaluation Trench measuring c. 1.8m × c. 25m was excavated within the footprint of the proposed development; in addition, two Trial-Holes measuring c. 1.8m × c. 4m were also excavated, each placed parallel to the Trench just outside the development footprint in order to allow for any minor alterations of the buildings precise location. In the event, no archaeological deposits or features were identified, with natural clays and bedrock being encountered at the base of each intervention. As a result, no further archaeological work is recommended.
