Magnetometry survey by D Calow of SyAS, following the discovery of Roman and Iron Age coins during metal detecting and the subsequent discovery of small sherds of pottery of Late Iron Age and Early Roman date during fieldwalking by D Williams of SCC, suggests the presence of buried archaeological features.

A test pit dug by L Smith of SyAS in the rear garden of the property revealed a packed flint floor, possibly a courtyard from the former Bookham Court. Various finds were recovered immediately above and between the flints. These included pottery sherds, butchered animal bones, teeth, iron nails, glass and a large quantity of broken clay tiles and building material. The pottery dated from the 13th to the 16th centuries.

Historic building recording by R Harris of the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum of a late 18th century timber-framed shed prior to dismantling and its re-erection at the museum.

Further episodes of fieldwork co-ordinated by N Cowlard and directed by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS to investigate the villa and its environs. Initial test-pitting was followed by excavation of features identified in a magnetometry survey carried out in 2008–9 and in a resistivity survey by D and A Graham of SyAS.

Fifth season of fieldwork undertaken by D Bird for the Roman Studies Group of SyAS. Survey and test pitting followed by excavation continue to improve knowledge of the villa and its surroundings.

Evaluation by N Randall of SCAU on the site of a proposed extension to the existing graveyard revealed two postholes, one of prehistoric origin, and three pits, two of Neolithic or earlier date. The dateable posthole contained two sherds of pottery, one of Bronze Age or earlier date, and the other of Iron Age date. Three small fragments of burnt clay, two of which bear the imprint of walling wattles, were also recovered and may suggest the presence of a former structure.

Watching brief by N Randall of SCAU following a 2011 evaluation revealed a feature of indeterminate date and function. Although unlikely, the possibility that the feature was a grave cut related to the former Goblin Works Saxon cemetery discovered on the adjoining site cannot be entirely discounted.

Evaluation by C Mason of BaRAS revealed an undated posthole, an undated ditch, and a modern pathway. The ditch follows the line of a former field boundary, present on historic maps and surviving as a line of mature trees extending out of the site, but undiagnostic struck and burnt flint recovered from its fill could indicate it is of some antiquity.

Evaluation by J Cook of ASE revealed a concentration of undated and/or natural features within one of the trenches. Further work is being undertaken.

Geophysical Survey by B Urmston of WA over an area of 19.1 hectares demonstrated the presence of linear and discrete pit-like anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest, including a number relating to a probable relict field system, several probable former field boundaries, and a linear feature which shares an alignment with both an adjacent field boundary but is also on the same orientation as the nearby Stane Street. A possible site of one of the three scheduled barrows in the vicinity was masked by an increased magnetic response representative of made or disturbed ground.
