An archaeological evaluation of the site carried out in June 2002 revealed a range of surviving archaeological deposits, despite extensive modern truncation. Seven separate areas of the site were then subjected to full excavation and recording based on potential identified during the evaluation. Although small quantities of flintwork were recovered from the overburden of one area, all of the excavated features dated from the medieval and post-medieval periods, with the majority of features dating from the mid-thirteenth to the third quarter of the fourteenth century. Two ironworking hearths and large quantities of slag were encountered as well as evidence of the deposition of domestic refuse in pits and ditches. A thirteenth-century well produced a remarkable assemblage of artefacts and environmental evidence including a large group of insect remains.
