Evaluation by D Freer of WA within the Scheduled hillfort revealed evidence of modern activity but no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the excavation of two test pits within the Scheduled Oatlands Palace close to the location of previous investigation in the 1960s. The watching brief did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest, but did clarify the depth at which archaeological remains are likely to be present and at risk from developmental impact.

First phase of a two-phase evaluation by S Maher of PCA revealed a number of features related to 18th and 19th century activity fronting on to Monument Hill, and a small number of pits and postholes that it was not possible to date but that are likely to be of later post-medieval origin.

Monitoring by P White of WA during resurfacing of a pedestrian track within the Scheduled racetrack revealed that the groundworks would not cause any damage to the monument.

Survey by K Bower of PCA to record the location of potholes, service runs, and areas of re-surfacing of a stretch of the Scheduled racetrack.
