A watching brief took place along a proposed pipeline in 2010. A number of features were exposed dating to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. 8 pits of various sizes were excavated. Someare believed to be rubbish pits or storage pits, with some having no clear purpose. Flint and pottery recovered from them provides the dating evidence. 2 un urned cremation burials were also excavated. One measured 0.4m in diameter and 0.8m in depth and the other was 0.4m in diameter and 0.13m in depth, burnt bone of an adult and abundant charcoal was observed in the fills of these features.
