Trial trenching was carried out prior to proposed residential development. Nine trenches were placed to investigate anomalies identified by a prior geophysical survey, with Trench 9 placed in a blank area, in order to assess the nature of the archaeological resource. Trenches 1 and 9 measured 10m by 1.6m; Trench 2 measured 40m by 106m; Trench 3 measured 30m by 5m; Trench 4 measured 40m by 3m; Trench 5 measured 5m by 5m; Trench 6 measured 50m by 1.6m; Trench 7 measured 20m by 1.6m, and Trench 8 measured 30m by 1.6m.{1}
