Evaluation by R James and J Russell of ASE, for Persimmon Homes, in advance of residential development. No features or finds of archaeological interest were revealed. Two geological test-pits were excavated under the supervision of Dr Martin Bates. A similar sequence of events to that recorded at Wildshaw were recorded; downslope movement of gravels under periglacial conditions in the late Pleistocene, followed by an apparent period of stabilisation, followed by downslope movement of soils as a result of tree clearance in the later Holocene.
