An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold which had limited correlation with a preceding geophysical survey. Archaeologically significant features encountered comprised ditches and pits dated to the Middle to Late Iron Age.
Evidence for Iron Age activity was identified in Trenches 7 and 8. Pottery of Middle or Later Iron Age date, 'pot boilers' and a whetstone consistent with Iron Age dating was recovered from a pit and the ditch fills of a rectilinear enclosure. Additional potentially contemporary pits were revealed within the enclosure. Medieval ridge and furrow was identified in Trenches 2, 4 and 5. Undated features, including ditches and pits, were identified in Trenches 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8. Modern features comprising service trenches and a soakaway were revealed in Trench 1.
