Small-scale excavation by R J Poulton and M G O’Connell for SCC to examine a pit-like feature uncovered in redevelopment. Two main features were noted: a large (? quarry) pit over 2m deep and at least 3m wide, and the lowest levels of a shaft (under 0.75m diameter) narrowing to a post-hole (0.25m diameter) around 3.6m deep from the original surface.

Excavation of part of the earthwork known as Little Pickle by R J Poulton for SCC and British Industrial Sand Ltd, in advance of sand extraction, revealed that the bank and ditch of this rectangular earthwork were probably constructed in the late 15th century.
