Final season of the ongoing research excavation by P Harp of Plateau continued to recover later prehistoric material

Evaluation by N Cowlard and F Pemberton of EEHAS recovered flints and Roman pottery.

Watching brief by N Cowlard of EEHAS during development where much of the groundworks proposed had already been completed did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by N Cowlard and F Pemberton of EEHAS revealed no evidence of Stane Street or any other finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by N Cowlard of EEHAS in an area where the precise location of Stane Street was not known revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest. A subsequent excavation of four test pits by EEHAS and SyAS along the eastern property boundary did not reveal any evidence of the road or roadside features, but the lack of subsoil in three of the trenches (and its presence in the fourth trench only at a greater depth) suggests that the site had been scraped in the past.

Watching brief by P Harp of Plateau on the excavation of a gas pipeline. No features were noted, but a number of fragments of Roman pottery and painted wall plaster were observed, both within excavated spoil and in situ within parts of the trench.

Fieldwalking by P Harp of Plateau, following on from excavations and fieldwalking in the area in 2002 and 2003. Palaeolithic surface material continued to be collected. Although most post-glacial flintwork was left in situ and unrecorded, some examples of Mesolithic axes and Neolithic/Bronze Age arrowheads were recovered.

Resistivity survey by P Stevens of SHAHT following the discovery of two inhumations on the site in 2004 found little evidence for disturbance to the site. This is as likely to be a consequence of the inconclusive nature of the geophysical results owing to the geological conditions, as it is to be indicative of a lack of activity.
