Field systems dating from the Iron Age to the medieval period were found in 1999 prior to Channel Tunnel Rail Link construction works. Previous work in the area had revealed a complex arrangement of archaeological features, predominantly located to the west of Station Road, which had been dated as late Bronze Age and late Iron Age. The Park Wood evaluation revealed archaeological features, including ditches and pits, and dating and morphological evidence suggests that these features represent both late Iron Age/early Romano-British and medieval field (TR 03 NE 68) systems. The former probably extend from a known contemporaneous settlement centre located immediately to the west of Station Road, whilst the latter probably extend from a medieval settlement centre at or near the Park Wood Cottage farm buildings at the base of the slope to the east.
