The site was excavated by Pre-Construct Archaeology in October and November 2014, following an evaluation in October 2014. The excavation revealed evidence for archaeological activity at the site from the Mesolithic to the post-Saxon periods (TQ 57 SE 391, TQ 57 SE 393, TQ 57 SE 394). This took the form of flint working debris, and the creation of pits and post-holes at the site.

The first phase of occupation at the site is Middle Bronze Age; this is characterised by the creation of pits, one cluster (intercut and subcircular), 6 isolated pits, and 1 other pit around which 3 post holes have been created (suggesting a post-built structure may have been created over the pit). Another cluster of post holes is present in other area of the site; these are aligned NW-SE with possible NE-SW intersections, suggesting that they may represent fence-lines and/or animal enclosures. Finds from these features include a small quantity of struck flint and burnt flint, some of which dates to the Middle Bronze Age-Iron Age (some of this assemblage is also thought to be residual, such as a Mesolithic axe fragment found within one of the pits). At least 3 sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery is also present associated with the pits and post holes.

The second phase of occupation at the site is Mid-Late Iron Age - Romano-British. This phase is characterised by the creation of a N-S subcircular pit arrangement, and the creation of 3 other small pit features. The N-S pit arrangement contained some (probably residual) burnt and struck flint in the fills. The 3 small pits contained pottery dating to the Mid-Late Iron Age/Roman period (some of which may have been residual).

Many post-Saxon pits (TQ 57 SE 394) were also revealed at the site; these produced no artefactual material and could not be conclusively dated.(1)
