Evaluation by A Haslam of PCA revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by S Holden of PCA revealed a single feature containing no datable material, and two parallel brick-built walls dated to the late 18th/early 19th centuries, which are likely to correspond to a building shown on the 1870 OS map. Evidence of prehistoric activity, in the form of possible struck flint and pieces of burnt flint, together with sherds of prehistoric, possibly Iron Age, pottery, was found residually across the site with artefacts of medieval and post-medieval date.

Evaluation by J Butler of PCA in advance of the construction of a new parsonage discovered a well dated to between AD 1700 and 1800, and a further well or soakaway in the grounds of the St Nicholas Church Centre. No other finds or features were revealed, possibly due to the removal of archaeological horizons during the erection of a (now demolished) structure on the site in the early 19th century, and additional landscaping of the church and rectory grounds.

Evaluation by H Clough of PCA in advance of the construction of a workshop extension revealed two ditches of probable Bronze Age origin, a palaeochannel which may be prehistoric, medieval agricultural features, a late 18th or early 19th century wall, and residual burnt and worked flint, abraded Roman pottery and a piece of unabraded Saxo-Norman pottery. Subsequent monitoring of two geotechnical test pits within the proposed footprint of the workshop revealed only modern deposits.

Evaluation by A Haslam of PCA in advance of an Assisted Living development. No evidence of human activity on the site was revealed prior to the construction of the five 20th century houses then standing on the site.

Evaluation by K Sayer of PCA prior to residential development revealed no archaeological finds or features.

Excavation by E Sayer of PCA, undertaken in conjunction with Bournemouth University and INFORCE (International Forensic Centre of Excellence for the Investigation of Genocide) to provide training for students undertaking forensic archaeology courses. The excavation consisted of the clearance of all burials in the cemetery of the chapel, and a total of 36 burials, all dating to the 19th century, were uncovered, recorded and removed. Soil conditions meant that bone survival was poor, though by piecing together broken gravestones from around

Evaluation by A Haslam of PCA in advance of residential redevelopment revealed only a late 19th–early 20th century wood-lined pit, and substantial 19th century and later truncation.

Evaluation by J Taylor of PCA in advance of the construction of three houses revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest, and substantial evidence of truncation caused by garden landscaping.

Evaluation by S Deeves of PCA outside the areas that would have been destroyed, in archaeological terms, by the construction of former and existing structures on the site, revealed only natural tree/root hollows and a possible old pond or watercourse (although this may be a feature associated with brickearth extraction).
