No archaeological features or deposits were exposed during monitoring of groundworks associated with conversion of a redundant barn to the south-west of the farmhouse, and no finds were recovered. Most of the groundworks were within the main working yard area, where any such surviving deposits and features are likely to have been heavily disturbed. Other details: Plan.
