Evaluation by J Hirst of ASE recovered a small assemblage of late post-medieval finds from the topsoil, but no archaeological features were present.

Evaluation by A Taylor and D Platt of TVAS revealed three pits, one of which contained a Bronze Age urn, the others were undated. The vessel form and fabric of the urn fits into the middle to later Deverel-Rimbury tradition. The profile is of a type that has been described as ‘sub-biconical’ and examples, with a flattened rim and a row of perforations, occur in southern British Deverel-Rimbury assemblages from East Anglia to Dorset.
