The groundworks involved a topsoil strip along the route of the access road and at the location of the barn. The works were undertaken using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket, working under constant archaeological supervision. Spoil tips were scanned for unstratified finds across the entire study area. The monitoring works revealed a larger sample of the Medieval ditch investigated during the evaluation and a small section of dry stone wall, probably dated to the 13th century. The ditch was identified during the evaluation as possibly representing a field boundary and the results of the watching brief suggest that this is probably the case. The dry stone wall also probably represented a former boundary, rather than a structural wall and was constructed during or after the medieval period. Dry stone walls were rarely used for the construction of buildings and the foundation for this wall did not penetrate the natural substrates and so probably would not have provided a strong enough footing for a structure. The findspots present along the route of the access road indicate prehistoric and Roman activity within the vicinity of the site. The pottery assemblage had sherds from the Roman period 1st - 3rd Century, 12th - 14th Century, 16th - 17th Century and 19th Century Four pieces of worked flint were also recovered during the course of the watching brief. These consisted of an end scraper of possible late Mesolithic date, two undiagnostic flaked tools with some signs of re-touching and a waste flake. No evidence for the Anglo-Saxon cemetery was present within the watched area. The results of the watching brief indicate that there is a relatively low level of archaeological activity within the study area.
