Initially on 12th August 210, the groundworks for the construction of a new garage were observed. From 3rd to 4th March 2015, following the demolition of the barn, the excavation of the footings for the new house was monitored. Two east-west ditches and a large pit were identified within the foundation trenches. The ditches contained a small quantity of late Saxon to early medieval pottery and some animal bone.
