Observations and recording during groundworks associated with the replacement of a water main. Five test pits, each approximately 0.8m by 2m, were dug by machine within the easement and compound. The stripping of the easement and digging of the test pits was carried out under archaeological supervision. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were observed. Representative sections of the deposit sequence across the site were recorded. Three pieces of flint were recovered from the easement, suggesting Bronze Age activity in the vicinity.
