In 1995 an evaluation was carried out Canterbury Archaeological Trust at Terry's Lane. A structure was observed in Trench D. There was a clear layer of occupation, that appeared to be an internal floor, and although not datable it does represent the primary layer of occupation. This layer was sealed by another, possibe reflorring of the same building. A small amount of pottery was found within the secobnd layer and it dated between 1575-1650, making the previous layer earlier. The second layer of reflooring was roughly contemporary with the original sea walls construction in 1583. There were small fragments of coal and oyster shell within this layer sugegsting occupation. The ceramic evidence continues until the latter part of the 18th century. This date could possible conincide with the great flood of 1779 when the sea wall was breached, and thus give an explaination for the destruction of the building in this period. (1)

In 1995 an evaulation was carried out by Canterbury Archaeological Trust at Terry's Lane. Some post holes were found and were thought to relate to possible shed or workshops. Cermaics related to these features dated to c.1780-1875. (1)
