Description
Nine trial trenches measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide (except Trench 1 which was 10m long) were excavated by mechanical excavator. The site is located within a zone of high potential for Palaeolithic archaeological remains, indicated by two findspots of Palaeolithic date immediately to the East of the proposed development area (HER 11310, 11350). Four geoarchaeological test pits were also excavated up to depths of around 2m but none showed any material of significant geoarchaeological value.
