Description
An archaeological test pit excavation prior to the removal of topsoil and levelling of the site in the course of land reclamation. It was decided to investigate the area for evidence of habitation, and to see whether the crop mark site to the north could be identified as continuing into this area. Fifty-one 2m sq. test pits were excavated at intervals of roughly 15m.
