The site is located on the west side of Station Road, south of the village centre. The development site is located on a plot of land lying between North Bar Road to the West and Station Road to the east with access from Station Road between ‘The Ings’ and ‘Martindale’, properties fronting on to Station Rd. A targeted excavation at the north end of the site where three of the houses were to be built and was conducted in late June and continued into July 2007. The ground was stripped of topsoil and an archaeological excavation was carried out prior to the construction of these dwellings. Many features were discovered during both the watching brief and targeted excavation.The complementary artefactual has highlighted the importance of the site which was probably part of one of the manorial properties in the village. The large assemblage of ceramic material from the site is an important contribution to local studies and will provide a good basis for a local reference collection enabling comparative analysis from other sites in the future.
