An archaeological evaluation carried out at the former greyhound stadium in early 2000 found Iron Age and other prehistoric evidence. In trench 12 there were three features. Two ditches running north-west south-east were c. 15 m apart but roughly parallel. Ditch F12 was c. 1.75 m wide and 1.6 m deep and had vertical sides. Finds comprised 6 fragments of bone and two struck flints. Ditch F15 was more shallow, only 0.95 m deep and contained two Iron Age pot sherds and three flints. A possible pit was also found.
