A watching brief was undertaken following the demolition of the farmhouse at Howe Farm, and during groundworks for the new dwelling. Observations were made during the excavation of ground beams for a new build on the previous site of Howe Farmhouse. The footprint of the new build was moved 7m South of Grange Road and was therefore excavated into what would have been the associated farmyard rather than in the original footprint of the dwelling. No archaeological finds or features of significance were recorded.
