Watching brief by S Porter and J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during the excavation of an irrigation lake to the south-west of the multivallate, Iron Age hillfort indicated that the site had been the subject of previous landscaping work, probably during the construction of the golf course removing any archaeological features that may have been present.

A watching brief by S Porter of TVAS following earlier evaluation revealed a range of archaeological deposits from the medieval through to late post-medieval periods.

Watching brief and historic building recording by A Taylor and G Elliot of TVAS. Coombe Edge was noted as a good example of a small country house with a lodge and for its association with the family of Sir Ranulf Fiennes.
