An archaeological evaluation was carried out in 2015 and a watching brief in 2016 were carried out by Cameron Archaeology prior to proposed development. A total of 66 trenches were excavated, covering 7-10 percent of the site. No intact features of archaeological significance were recorded during the evaluation, however a total of 68 lithic artefacts were recovered, with the majority recovered from the field at NJ 9616 1447. The watching brief, centred at NJ 9587 1423, similarly recorded no features, but recovered 102 flints. Of the total assemblage of 170 flints, 75 percent of the assemblage is debitage, 15 percent is cores and 10 percent are tools. The assemblage includes elements from a number of prehistoric periods, but is dominated by later prehistoric material, probably dating to the later Bronze Age.
