A single trial trench, 5m long x 1.8m wide and excavated to a depth of c.0.7-0.8m deep, was excavated in October 2017 in the southwest side of the site (the evaluation was intended to assess the car parks but these proved to be inaccessible).<1> Four layers were identified. Modern topsoil (L1, 0.4-0.6m thick) sealed buried topsoil (L3, at least 0.2m thick) beneath which was natural sand and gravel (L4, identified at a depth of 33.5-33.91m AOD). A spread of gravel in a loose sandy matrix (L2, 0.1m thick) was identified between L1 and L4 at the far eastern end of the trench, interpreted as possible Roman metalling associated with burial plots or a tomb. The backfill of 2015 test pit T6 (PCA 2016) was identified in the far western end of the trench (F2). A ditch (F3) and two pits (F1 and F4) were also revealed but only partially excavated (where access allowed due to constraints within the trench). Ditch F3 was aligned NW/SE, measured 0.45m wide by 0.24m deep and cut pit F4. The full extent of pit F1 could not be determined as only one small edge was located inside the trench, but pit F4 was 2.6m wide by 0.78m deep. Pit F1 contained a small quantity of finds of possible pre-Flavian date, with ditch F3 and pit F4 containing material of a mid 3rd- to 4th-century date. The features were identified cut into natural ground level which was identified at between 33.5-33.91m AOD (c.0.4-0.6m below current ground level).<1>
