In 2011 an archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of redevelopment of the site.

From the report "One very shallow and ephemeral linear feature, [2/004], was observed within this trench, orientated on a north-east to south-west alignment. This feature measured a maximum of 0.41m in width by a maximum of 0.12m in depth, with a very gentle, ephemeral concave profile. The fill, [2/005], comprised a firm, mid orangish brown, silty clay, containing frequent small angular to subangular flint nodules. Despite 100% excavation of the fill of this feature, no artefactual inclusions were observed. An environmental sample of this feature produced only a few flecks of charcoal. The limited area of this feature exposed within the trench base renders interpretation problematic; however, it may represent a shallow drainage gully." (1)
