Forty-one archaeological features were identified and excavated, comprising ditches and gullies, pits, postholes, possible hearths and lynchets. Relatively few dateable artefacts were recovered from these features, although enough evidence was recovered to indicate Early Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British features were present, as well as Late Bronze Age/early Iron Age, medieval and post medieval pottery recovered from unstratified sources.

In general, the prehistoric features appear to represent components of a landscape comprised of ditched field systems on the slopes below higher ground within the site limits. the higher ground, particularly the main sand ridge crossing the site, appears to be largely devoid of features and it is likely that subsequent truncation through ploughing has had a significant effect on the buried archaeology of the area. The Romano-British remains appear to indicate a ditched trackway passing south-west to north-east through the site, approximately following the line of the central ridge. (1-3)
