Excavations following machine trial trenches at the site took place between June and July 2013 (1).
A large assenblage of Prehistoric flintwork was recovered (1).

The report summarises the excavations as follows:
"Following on from three machine-dug evaluation trenches, cut at the Battle of Britain Memorial
site, Capel-le-Ferne (NGR 624560 138201, centred) in 2012, five smaller hand-dug trenches were
excavated in June and August 2013 in order to more closely investigate the context of prehistoric
flintwork discovered during the earlier work. The new trenches (Trenches 4–8) recovered more
prehistoric flints, together with a small amount of prehistoric pottery. The bulk of the material was
recovered from two adjoining trenches (Trenches 5 and 8), where it had been subjected to only limited
disturbance. The identification of conjoining waste flakes, together a number of very small flakes
and chips, indicates that knapping was taking place in this locality. The excavated flint assemblage,
however, is not of one phase and contains material of Mesolithic, early Neolithic and later Neolithic
date. Despite initial appearances, the flintwork cannot be accepted as representing an undisturbed
prehistoric occupation horizon." (1)
