July 2021. Archaeological excavation.
Three areas (Areas 21-23) were excavated to further investigate archaeological remains that had been encountered during an evaluation of the site.
A total of nine postholes, twelve pits and a tree throw were recorded in Area 23, none of which could be dated. Further detailed analysis may enable some of these features to be assigned to a period.
