Description
July 2018. Watching brief.
In spite of being located in an archaeologically-sensitive area, no significant archaeological remains were encountered. A small assemblage of pottery and CBM dating to 1500-1700 suggests that the supposedly 19th century farm complex may be older than previously thought, or, alternatively, indicates an earlier phase of activity at the site. <1>
