A field evaluation is carried out to a written brief or specification, priced, and instructed by a client before anyone digs. That file fixes who asked for the 1990 work, what it was told to look for, what area it covered and what it cost, which the 1990 assessment report alone does not show. On 28 October 2026 Heneb, the legal entity holding the records of the former Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust, answered the question on how the work was specified, priced, bid for and carried out by withholding information that identifies individuals; it did not state that the file is not held, and it declined to review the 1990 evaluation.
Who should hold it: Heneb (holds the former Glamorgan-Gwent Archaeological Trust records); the commissioning client (not checked); Vale of Glamorgan Council if the work answered a planning request on 89/01396/OUT (not checked)
Date of the record: 1989–1990
