The excavation area was machine stripped and all features revealed were mapped. The features were then sample excavated. Although the site was artefactually relatively sterile with virtually no stratigraphic sequence due to the sparse and wide distribution of features, prehistoricactivity and Anglo-Saxon occupation was indicated. Roman activity was also detected suggesting more extensive activity than was previously supposed.

One sunken featured Anglo-Saxon structure was located and associated ceramic evidence indicated occupation around the 8th to 11th centuries. Most of the other features excavated probably related to this phase of site use and included rubbish, cess and quarry pits. Evidence for a least two associated enclosures was also recorded.
