The objective was to record any deposits, features or buried structures of archaeological significance encountered during the works, the excavation of a trench for a new electricity cable. The site was visited on a regular basis usually twice a day when excavation work was in progress. Recording took the form of written notes and measured sketches supplemented by a series of colour digital photographs. A total of ten specimen sections were recorded.
