Two buildings dating to the medieval period were excavated 11cm below the modern tarmac.

The first building was represented by 3 phases of construction (phases 1, 2a, and 2b). Occupation horizons and clay floors represent the earliest phase of construction on this structure. Several layers overlay these floors and deposits which are thought to represent levelling surfaces or the demolition of an earlier phase of construction at the site. Another clay floor was located above these layers.
Phase 2a may represent the continuation of work on the earlier structure in phase 1, or may represent the construction of an entirely new building. This phase consists of the creation of a construction cut within which is located a T-shaped wall forming the outer wall of a timber structure and the partition between two rooms (SE and NE). The rooms are thought to measure at least 4.80m square. The T-shaped wall was formed from chalk blocks and flint nodules and bonded with clay and mortar; it measures 15-28cm in width. Several clay floors were also associated with this phase of construction.
Phase 2b comprises later modifications to the building, consisting of a new chalk, flint and mortar foundation replacing the partition between the rooms. This wall is cut by a later post-hole.
This building is thought to date from the 14th century and to have been constructed on the site of an earlier building.

The second building as represented by 2 phases of construction. Evidence for the earliest phase of construction comprised three clay floors and a wall footing. These features sealed a post-Roman floor surface.
Phase 2 of construction comprised a chalk and flint foundation (0.7m NW-SE) represented by a shallow footing within a construction cut. The building is thought to have had a timber frame as the foundations were not substantial enough to support a stone built structure.

Undated features which are thought to potentially relate to construction associated with these buildings include four post-holes (25-50cm in length/width, with a single depth recording of 15cm) three of which were directly associated with buildings 1 and 2. One of these features was associated with 11 sherds of medieval pottery dating to 1375-1525 AD.

Features associated with other areas of the site include a medieval pit over 94cm in width and 20cm in depth. Scorching on the NW side of the feature's cut has led to the interpretation of the featuyre as a possible hearth or oven. The scorching may also result from the deposition of hot ash within a rubbish pit. A medieval tile was recovered from the fill of the pit.

Earlier features at the site include a Roman timber building, road metalling, and possible kiln (TR 15 NW 2069). (1)
