In 2012 Wessex Archaeology conducted archaeological evaluation trenching on the surrounding site.A total of 101 trenches were excavated, 10 of which contained archaeological remains. During the evaluation trenching, a Bronze Age pit was uncovered containing 24 sherds (195g) of mid-late Bronze Age pottery alongisde a possible quern-stone fragment.
The trench also contained 14 pieces of flint (some worked although specific numbers are not specified) weighing 91g, and an undated, stone-lined drainage ditch.

A nearby trench to the east of this one contained a deep posthole, the fill of which contained a concentration of burnt material. The posthole is undated and contained no archaeological components. (1)
