In 2007 and 2008 Swale and Thames Archaeological Survey Company carried out two evaluations. Numerous features were identified in the eastern part of the site and broadly dated to the prehistoric period. Due to the quantity of features uncovered, it was decided that they would not be fully investigated until a more detailed stage of mitigation. (1)

A worked flint assemblage dating from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Neolithic is also recorded as having been excavated at the site. (2)
