Summary

An evaluation excavation was carried out in 2005. Archaeological features were found in every trench but many related to 19th and 20th century uses of the site. A series of medieval ditches and gullies were, however, recorded. It is more likely that they related to agriculture rather than direct occupation within the bounds of the site itself. Finds included a small number of prehistoric flints, medieval pottery fragments and pieces of post medieval brick, tile, clay pipe and pottery.
