2015. Trial trenching. Ten features were recorded during trial trenching, seven were probable post-holes one of which contained a prehistoric worked flint and five of which were modern. One post hole was one sub-square and was dated to the post-medieval period. Two pits were uncovered and contained the skeletons of what appeared to be young dogs, which were probably associated with occupation at Home Farm. One undated pit with a possible post-hole in the base and two pits containing modern pottery and concrete were also uncovered. <1>
