Evaluation by R Poulton of SCAU prior to development. A number of burials of 19th century date were revealed, but no activity from earlier periods was observed, with the area apparently only taken into the graveyard late in the 19th century.

Geophysical survey by K Sabin of Archaeological Surveys to test whether geophysics was likely to be a useful evaluation technique in advance of the relocation of the road. Magnetometry identified a series of positive linear anomalies, although the overall conclusion was that the soils of the area were likely to produce no better than moderate results, and that there existed pockets of sandy geology where the method may be totally ineffective.

Investigation by J and P Wardle and M Rubra of SyAS. A series of chalk and flint footings discovered by the owner, which appeared to be the remains of a fairly recent structure probably removed in the early 1960s, were examined. The property lies on the route of the GCHQ Stop Line, although there was no conclusive evidence for a military connection to the structure. (394)
