To determine the extent of archaeological features across Site 2a after previous investigations showed historical significance.
Conducted trials with 5 trenches at Site 1 and 10 trenches at Site 2; performed a watching brief on Site 2a.
Engaged in open area excavation due to prior discovery of prehistoric activity; phases occurred in 2001, 2002, and 2006.
Evaluated anomalies from a geophysical survey to identify archaeological relevance.
Identified features from the early Neolithic, Bronze Age, Romano-British, and Medieval/Post-Medieval periods.
Discovered a Neolithic pit with Grimston ware, Bronze Age barrow ring ditches, and a rectilinear field system from the 2nd to 3rd century AD.
Lack of significant findings at Site 1 led to no further work required there.
