Abstract:		 The evaluation was carried out on 26th September 2022. The evaluation followed the methodology set out in the WSI with the exception that the foundation trenches were evaluated rather than the single 10m x 1.8m evaluation trench proposed in the WSI. This change to the methodology was agreed with the SCC Planning Archaeologist in advance of the evaluation fieldwork. In addition, the foundation trenches were excavated to formation level, a deeper depth than was necessary for an archaeological evaluation trench. The foundation trenches formed a grid around three spaces. The trenches were each 0.6m wide and 0.7m deep, with a total area of approximately 27.97m2 The evaluation was carried out on 26th September 2022. No archaeological features, deposits or finds earlier than the 20th century were found. Modern topsoil directly overlay natural geological layers with a clear horizon between them, which may suggest that the Site had been levelled during the recent past. One feature was recorded during the evaluation. This large feature, some 2.42m wide and over 0.54m deep, was partially exposed. It had steeply sloping sides and its fill contained a 1932 farthing, fragments of modern glass and ceramic building material. The exact purpose of this mid-20th century feature is unclear. There were no structural remains associated with it and it seems unlikely that it was a planting pit due to its large size and depth, extending far below the ground level.
