Abstract:		 The present site lies within an Area of Archaeological Significance as defined in the District Local Plan, which notes that a number of Iron Age or Roman cremations have been found at the site, and that it has been associated with the Wilshere family since the 14th century. During the Second World War it housed Station IX, part of the Special Operations Executive. Previous stages of work included desk-based assessment and historic building impact assessment, followed by a programme of evaluation trenching. The evaluation produced a solitary Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age base sherd, recovered unstratified from the north eastern corner of the site. No features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance were encountered during the removal and subsequent ground reduction in the area of a spoil mound in the north-eastern corner of the site. The works did not breach the overburden and any potential buried remains will remain in situ. Excavation of a drainage trench in the north-western quadrant of the site encountered the course of a backfilled tunnel, dating to the Second World War. The tunnel, at a depth of c.0.20m below the present ground level, was constructed of reinforced concrete. Two magazines of Second World War date were recorded. These are the only surviving standing structures of this period remaining on the site. They are single storey brick buildings, set below ground level in enclosures defined by brick retaining walls to the north-west, and accessed by sloping concrete ramps.
