March 1991. Watching brief.
In March 1991 an area was stripped of topsoil and examined for archaeological finds and features. No finds of any date were made, though short lengths of shallow ditch were encountered. They clearly connect up with extant ditch lines in unstripped areas to the south which are the lines marking the boundaries of fairly recent finds. <4> <5>
2000. Watching brief.
Investigation conducted over small area to the south of the site near the Nursery produced no archaeological features, see EHER 19027 for details. <6>
