An evaluation in 2009 found a layer of flint metalling which is perhaps part of a 19th century farmyard (1).

"In the north-eastern half of the trench a disturbed layer of flints (Fig. 5, BS 3, Context 14) appeared to
represent the continuation of the metalling located further to the north (see below, Context 9). Sealed by a thin layer of brown clay (Context 13) in this area, the flint surface appeared to have been disturbed during the course of laying down more recent layers of chalk and flint rubble. In places, it was very
difficult to distinguish between the flint metalling proper and the later dumped flint rubble, Context 12." (2)

In test pit 1, a layer of flints was visible resting on top of the natural clay. "This fairly certainly represents the disturbed remains of the flint metalling layer better exposed in Test Pit 2". In test pit 2 "the continuation of a flint metalled surface previously recorded in this general area (Parfitt 2009a) was exposed, photographed (Plate IV) and removed". (2)
