The evaluation revealed a small number of archaeological features, including an undated lynchet, a ditch of probable prehistoric date, two modern building platforms and a number of natural periglacial features. Geophysical anomalies were identified as geological in origin, indicating the break of slope marking the edge of colluvial and coombe deposits banked against the north-east side of the chalk valley.

A sequence of up to 3 colluvial deposits was identified within the valley floor, the primary horizon producing a single sherd of 13th century pottery. In addition, a Mesolithic or early Neolithic flint pick was recovered as a stray topsoil find (1).
