A trial-trenched evaluation, comprising a single trial-trench 10.0m long x 1.80m wide, was undertaken by John Newman in December 2018 in advance of the construction of a new dwelling to the north of 2 Linden Close. The trench depth was 500mm at its eastern end dropping to 700mm its western end with the local glaciofluvial deposit at the site being silty pale orange sand below 300mm of topsoil and 200-400mm of subsoil.The work did not reveal any features except a 20th century ceramic drain date and the only stray finds in the upcast spoil were occasional brick and tile fragments of 20th-century date.<1>
