Continuing excavation by P Harp of Plateau of the multi-period site revealed mainly post-glacial lithics of Mesolithic to Bronze Age date, but with occasional suspected Palaeolithic struck flint. A small quantity of Iron Age and Bronze Age pottery was also recovered.

Excavation by P Harp of Plateau and J Scott-Jackson of Oxford University of five test pits recovered 25 pieces of Lower Palaeolithic struck flint, and a moderate quantity of post-glacial struck flint. The Palaeolithic flint was mainly debitage and mostly from ploughsoil, but also from the underlying clay-with-flints, and had no obvious clast orientation. Soil samples were taken for analysis.

Fieldwalking by J Ede of Plateau recovered a Palaeolithic flake, and a Neolithic or Bronze Age small flaked axe. A general spread of post-glacial lithics, mainly Neolithic or Bronze Age, occurs across the field on the crest of the scarp slope, while there is more Mesolithic struck flint present on the sandier west of the field.

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU prior to the construction of an extension to the Swan Centre. A single flint tool of Mesolithic or early Neolithic flint was recovered, although this was found within the subsoil rather than any apparent feature. Nothing further of archaeological note was revealed.

Watching brief by J Stevenson of SCAU during groundworks involved in the excavation of a new sewer. The exposed sections of the sewer trench were too unstable to be examined safely, so only the general stratigraphy was recorded. The accompanying easement strip removed only the topsoil and so did not impact on the archaeology bearing horizons, but a number of unstratified late Neolithic or early Bronze Age struck flints (3 cores, 4 flakes, 1 retouched flake, 1 notched flake) were recovered from the subsoil and removed topsoil.

Excavation by M G O'Connell for SCC and DoE further examined a crop mark complex (figs I, 2). A very large LBA pit was found, in which fragments of worked wood had been preserved. The pit cut one of two parallel ditches previously assumed to mark a Roman road and now interpreted as a cursus. Closer examination of aerial photographs indicated two other possible cursus to the north, and a possible henge near the excavation site; the excavation also examined further a prehistoric trackway and Saxon features. Later work for SCC and the British Airports Authority confirmed the cursus identification

Monitoring and recording by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during soil stripping for a quarry extension. A number of small pits, three of which were Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in date, and a (probable boundary) ditch tentatively dated to the Middle or Late Bronze Age, were revealed and excavated. The pits are considered to represent one or more occupation site(s), and analysis of environmental deposits within one of the datable pits revealed that it was located in a landscape of rough grassland with some scrub.

Three phases of archaeological investigation were carried out by S Ford, J Pine and J Lewis of TVAS in advance of possible future extraction on this site. The first phase comprised the excavation of 249 trenches and revealed a range of deposits of Late Bronze Age, Roman, Early Saxon, Late Saxon and medieval dates, within an area coincident with a cropmark enclosure complex; a small number of gullies possibly dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age to the west, and in-situ Mesolithic artefacts and a Mesolithic pit.

Evaluation by T Munnery of SCAU exposed the foundations of the church, and three burials, two of which were likely to be relatively recent and the third of unknown date. A barbed-and-tanged arrowhead was discovered in the graveyard in the 1990s, and an unstratified struck flint, probably of Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date, was recovered during the evaluation.
