Evaluation by R James and J Russell of ASE, on behalf of Wates Built Homes, in advance of residential redevelopment. The only find of interest was a fragment of a Mesolithic backed blade, all other finds and features were 18th to 19th century when the site was in agricultural use. A geological test-pit was excavated under the supervision of Dr Martin Bates. Two episodes of colluviation were noted; the uppermost following deforestation of the higher land to the south in the later Holocene; the lower deposit an earlier Holocene or late Pleistocene period of colluviation. The discontinuity between the two may represent a period of more rapid erosion, or the establishment of a stable surface (which could suggest the presence of a buried land surface). However, no sediments thought likely to contain in situ Palaeolithic deposits were located.
