Full Description

An archaeological evaluation of the site was conducted by Thames valley Archaeological Services in August and September 2014 (1).

The evaluation uncovered a modest number of archaeologically interesting features (pits, ditches, gullies and un-specified 'linear features'). These features varied from Late neolithic to Modern in date. One of these features was a Roman ditch. (1)
A possible medieval wall was also discovered and is recorded here. (1)

A small quantity of pottery and charred seed remains were also recovered (1).


The report gave no potential interpretations because of the general lack of association of features and complexity of the site. (1)
