The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 5 trenches with two trenches measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide, and three trenches measuring 25m long by 1.8m wide. The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site area and to evaluate the main areas of developmental impact. The location of trench 3 was adjusted slightly to the south in order to maintain a safe site access route. Despite the site's location in the general vicinity of a known Roman road and being situated on the southern edge of a south-facing river gravel terrace, no features or deposits of archaeological interest were encountered. Two of the trenches revealed evidence for modern activity within the site including a thin 'levelling' layer and a dump of debris, both of which produced fragments of modern glass, brick, and chinaware.
