The archaeological excavation works involved the excavation of up to five trenches, all measuring up to 10 m x 2 m, which were located to investigate areas of impact by the proposed development and evaluate the character of subsurface anomalies identified through geophysical survey. No settlement remains were identified within the evaluation trenches, and this work has characterised the area as having been generally wet and used for agricultural cultivation, suggesting a reason why the medieval settlement did not extend towards the north. It is possible, however, that the settlement may extend towards the east, west, or south.
