The Kent Archaeological Rescue Unit carried out a programme of works over a number of years with one phase of work, or more, apparently taking place before 2008 and work finishing in 2012. A sunken featured building was found along with pottery of the 6th-7th centuries. A large timber-framed building was also located, thought to be over 20m in length. The hall had apparently been plastered and painted white. (1)

In 2018, Gabor Thomas published an article reinterpreting and comparing the mead-halls at Lyminge and early medieval halls excavated at Dover and Eynsford. The paper argues that this building is a hall similar to the others. (2)
