A medieval rubbish pit containing 13th-14th century pottery was excavated on land at the rear of 121-125 Sturry Road, during an evaluation in 2012. The dimensions of the rubbish pit are not included in the report; its fill contained four abraded pottery sherds, three of which represented Canterbury Tyler Hill sandy ware, and one of which was north or west Kent fine sandy ware. The pottery dated between 1225-1350 AD. The piece of Kent fine sandy ware was a jug bodysherd.
The pit has been suggested to indicate the presence of domestic activity or dwelling in the vicinity of the site. Earlier archaeology at the site includes an assemblage of Bronze Age flints (TR 15 NE 2031), and later Prehistoric/Roman ditches (TR 15 NE 2032). (1)

Two medieval ditches were excavated at the site in 2015 - one dating from the Anglo-Saxon period (450-625 AD), the one dating from the early-mid medieval period (1150-1375 AD).
The Saxon ditch was aligned NE-SW and measured 11.6m in length, 1.45-1.95m in width, and 0.85m in depth. The fill of the ditch contained 15 pottery sherds, 8 pieces of animal bone (interpreted as cattle remains), and a fragment of haematite. Residual or probable residual remains from the ditch fill included 3 fragments of Roman brick, 12 pieces of burnt flint, and 12 pieces of worked flint dating to the Mesolithic-Bronze Age period.

The ditch dating from 1150-1375 was aligned NW-SE and measured 12.6m in length, 0.45-0.90m in width, and around 0.30m in depth. The fill of the ditch contained 16 pottery sherds, a fragment of charcoal and a piece of daub, alongside small inclusions of ceramic building material and bone. The ditch also contained some residual material including fragments of Roman brick and tile, a possible Roman quernstone fragment formed of green sandstone, and residual flints - "a side scraper dated to between the Mesolithic – Middle Bronze Age, two waste flakes (undated) and one piercer (undated)" (from the original report, 2).
