Archaeological excavation carried out in 2015 found evidence of 1st to 3rd century Roman occupation. An artificial platform was build in the 1st century to support a building comprising a clay floor and occupation debris. Later in the century the floor was raised again and a metalled surface laid, perhaps as a yard of a nearby building. A final phase of activity from the early/mid 2nd century to the mid 3rd century saw a sequence of clay floor and occupation deposits, almost certainly within a room in a building.
