In 1998 Museum of London Archaeology Service carried out an excavation as part of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link project. Over 100 post holes were found, with associated pits and a boundary ditch. These related to at least one building of probable 12th or 13th century date. A slot on at the southern end may mark a threshold entrance. Pottery from the site dated to AD 1050-1225. (1-3)
