An archaeological excavation was carried out in 2009 following earlier evaluation in 2006.

The excavation recorded a number of structures that relate to the manor house
complex that occupied the site from at least the 16th century to its demolition in the
1950’s.

Three pits, at Former Halstead Place School, located north west of Halstead. One was observed in Trench 101 which contained a few fragments of CBM and flint nodules. The others were only two features found in Trench 102 and were both 20th century pits. There is a sub-oval pit in Trench 109 which was filled with flint nodules and post-medieval CBM. (1)
