The remains of a ploughed out ring ditch cropmark were subject to an archaeological evaluation in 1991. Only two possible pits and the traces of a ditch were found. A watching brief at the site in 1994 revealed post medieval copper alloy objects but also a fragment of a bronze double egged blade. This was dated to the late Bronze Age. Fieldwalking evidence from the area suggests a prehistoric date - possibly in the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age.
