Evaluation and watching brief by N Shaikhley and J Robertson of SCAU revealed a large number of features, the majority of which appeared to be inhumations of medieval date, although dating evidence was scarce. The inhumations were probably originally within the boundary of the adjacent churchyard, which map evidence suggests may have contracted to its present size in the mid–late 18th century.

Monitoring of geotechnical investigations by R Poulton of SCAU to assess the level of truncation that had occurred across both sites revealed that they had both already been heavily disturbed.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU prior to the construction of a house. No features of archaeological significance were revealed on the site, although a small quantity of medieval pottery and tile fragments, recovered from the subsoil, were suggestive of 13th–14th century occupation in the area.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU prior to redevelopment revealed three ditches of probable post-medieval/recent date, at least one of which appeared to be associated with woodland drainage. A posthole of indeterminate date was also recorded.

Watching brief by R Poulton of SCAU during the construction of a new garage and additional external alterations. The deep and narrow garage foundations did not allow for detailed observations, but 19th century brick and pottery was evident. During excavations for repair to a boundary wall, a small section of chalk rubble and mortar walling was revealed. The limited area of exposure meant it was not possible to establish with confidence the orientation of the feature, although previous work in the area suggests it may be a structure related to the kitchens of the former palace.

Evaluation by N Shaikhley of SCAU in advance of construction of a school extension revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Watching brief by N Shaikhley of SCAU following evaluation in 2003 revealed significant previous ground disturbance but no finds or features of archaeological interest

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU in advance of the construction of a swimming pool close to the ramparts revealed no features or finds of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by J Robertson of SCAU revealed only a redeposited struck flint flake. A road is illustrated on Rocque’s map of 1768 possibly crossing the site, but neither this nor any other features of archaeological interest were revealed.

Evaluation by G Hayman of SCAU revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest. No material similar to or associated with the stamped Roman brick found here c 1930 was present.
