Evaluation by A Thorne of ASE prior to the construction of a reservoir revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by D Swift of ASE revealed a number of linear features, probably drainage and/or boundary ditches of post-17th century date, although they rarely produced datable material. Two of the ditches produced small quantities of Late Bronze Age and Late Iron Age pottery, although there was no conclusive evidence to suggest that this material was not residual in later features. Some small pits/postholes were also found, although none contained dating evidence. Most of the datable material was recovered from the topsoil, and was predominantly post-medieval in date.

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE revealed evidence for extensive terracing of the site prior to the construction of the existing house in the 1930s. However, one trench revealed an intact soil profile with a shallow depression containing pottery of a Late Iron Age–Early Roman date, with a more substantial cut feature of this period also being located. A subsequent investigation by D Whittaker of ASE revealed further evidence of this date in a roughly linear alignment.

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation and monitoring by P Riccoboni of ASE revealed a possible medieval gully/ditch, a potential posthole, and a 19th century or later cesspit or soakaway.

Evaluation by T Collie of ASE and monitoring of geotechnical investigations by A Margetts of ASE in advance of the proposed construction of a motorway service area. Monitoring of the geotechnical works did not reveal any archaeological finds or features, but the evaluation did uncover a few features, principally on higher and drier ground at the west of the site. The majority of the features were undatable, but one ephemeral feature contained prehistoric pottery, and a gully produced a small assemblage of undiagnostic struck flint.

Historic building survey undertaken by A Holton and J Murray of ASE to provide information to support the conservation of the farm buildings and inform any future repairs or alterations. The site comprises a farmhouse and two parallel ranges of farm buildings, all constructed in brick with timber roof structures, and built in 1900. These buildings replaced a farm that was present on the site in the mid-19th century, but documentary evidence indicates that the site has been occupied since at least the 17th century.

Watching brief by S Stevens of ASE during the mechanical removal of recently deposited building debris. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Evaluation by J Stevenson of ASE. Brief continuation of the evaluation largely undertaken and completed in 2004; see the 2004 round-up (SyAC 92, 279) for details of the results.
