During an archaeological watching brief by Canterbury Archaeological Trust in November 2008 on the groundworks of a high voltage cable installation, a series of late Iron Age to early Roman features were uncovered with various associated artefacts.

The features included field boundary ditches, a group of gullies or a possible trackway, pits, two potential buildings and various post and stake holes as well as plough marks.

Finds included worked flint, a sizeable pottery assesmblage including some noteable fineware, ceramic building material and 5 small finds: a coppr alloy coin, a fragment of blue-green glass, two quernstone fragments from rotary querns and a small assemblage of iron nails.

Occupation at the site seems to have ceased by the mid second century AD.
