Excavation in 1992 -1994 uncovered Bronze Age and Iron Age sites. The early Iron Age remains spanning c. 550-350 BC. consist of parts of two apparently rectilinear enclosures formed by palisade trenches. They are sub-divided by lengths of internal ditch and part of a sub-rectangular enclosure with a recut or superimposed ditch. Within the enclosures are 2 complexes of post-holes representing hut sites or other structures. Scattered throughout the enclosures and beyond are pits. One pit contained a burial. Later the burial was partly cut by the palisaded ditch. Along the east and west boundaries of the site is a large flat bottomed feature with in sections what may be wheel ruts. It seems that this is a continuation of a feature seen in 1907 to cross the line of South Cliff Parade. Bbelieved by Hurd who investigated this area in 1907 to be the return of a similar ditch see saw running north-east to be cut by the cliff line at Dumpton Gap.
