Description

Following excavation in October 1995, the site was preserved on an artificial promontory. A rescue excavation was then carried out in June 1996. This was followed by the re-stripping of an area previously beneath one of the runways to the East of, and adjacent to the site. An archaeological evaluation comprising fieldwalking, geophysical survey and trial-trenching of Area 3 to the immediate South and East of the excavation was also carried out to locate any associated settlement or activity.
