Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU in advance of landscaping works revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest. A watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU during the excavation of a swimming pool also revealed little of note.

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU prior to an application for residential development. A large number of features were revealed, including ditches, gullies, postholes, pits, wall foundations and robber trenches, most appearing to date from the late 1st/early 2nd century Romano-British period. Some Iron Age artefacts and features were also identified, suggesting that the settlement had earlier origins. It is unclear as to the exact nature of the site, although the evidence to date is consistent with the activities involved in the construction and operation of a small farmstead.

Watching brief by T Howe of SCC during an extension to the golf course. A number of burnt flints were recovered, suggesting prehistoric activity in the area, but little else was noted in conditions not ideal for archaeological observations.

Watching brief by K Bazley of PCA carried out on the groundworks associated with the construction of a hockey pitch. No archaeological deposits were observed.
