In February 2006 an archaeological evaluation was carried out at the former Halstead Place School, Halsted, in advance of a proposed re-development. 13 trenches were excavated within the site. The evaluation confirmed the presence of prehistoric and medieval/post-medieval remains. No domestic structures were found but a group of prehistoric features in the north-east of the site suggested that occupation may be present nearby. A possible medieval/post-medieval wall, garden features and boundary ditches were also revealed, thought to be associated with the manorial complex and school (see nearby records).

In 2006 an evaluation was carried out by Wessex Archaeology. One trench located a pit which contained four sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery. (1)
