A step trench (Area B) was excavated on the south slope of the main mound to determine the stratigraphy and a 15 by 15 meter excavation (Area A) was places in the northeast quadrant of the main mound. A site survey was conducted in 2018. The publication of a final report for this excavation is currently in the publication process.
The results of the trial trenching are used to inform any future stage of work which may extend to full excavation of the rest of the site if the evaluation reveals significant finds. In the UK the results of the trial trenching will be used to inform the decision on the need for any further archaeological work to be undertaken prior to ...
