Evaluation, 2019 The archaeological evaluation revealed a few finds of archaeological interest including two separate ditches and one pit. The isolated pit contained pottery dated to the 11th to 12th century and is the earliest feature on the site. The first of the two ditches weas located in the northern part of the site and was aligned on a SSW-NNE axis. It contained brick and tiles which have been dated to the post-medieval period and the features have been interpreted as a post-medieval boundary.
