Excavation and a watching brief during piling by J Pine of TVAS, following on from evaluation last year, revealed some truncation but also pits probably of early Medieval date, a later Medieval wood-lined well, and a chalk-lined latrine or cess pit of similar date. This was filled with dump deposits including pottery, bone, metalwork of both iron and copper alloy, and glass. In the base of one of the lift pits the top of chalk walls of similar dimensions were revealed, and it is probable that this was also a latrine or cess pit.

Evaluation by S Anthony of TVAS within the boundaries of the Scheduled Hill Fort. No finds or features of archaeological interest were revealed, reinforcing the results of previous archaeological work which suggest the interior of the fort was only sparsely occupied, if at all.

Monitoring and recording by J McNicoll-Norbury of TVAS during soil stripping for a quarry extension. A number of small pits, three of which were Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in date, and a (probable boundary) ditch tentatively dated to the Middle or Late Bronze Age, were revealed and excavated. The pits are considered to represent one or more occupation site(s), and analysis of environmental deposits within one of the datable pits revealed that it was located in a landscape of rough grassland with some scrub.

Evaluation by D Milbank of TVAS in advance of the creation of a pond, recovered a sherd of medieval or possibly Roman pottery from subsoil, but did not reveal any features of archaeological interest.

Three phases of archaeological investigation were carried out by S Ford, J Pine and J Lewis of TVAS in advance of possible future extraction on this site. The first phase comprised the excavation of 249 trenches and revealed a range of deposits of Late Bronze Age, Roman, Early Saxon, Late Saxon and medieval dates, within an area coincident with a cropmark enclosure complex; a small number of gullies possibly dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age to the west, and in-situ Mesolithic artefacts and a Mesolithic pit.

Watching brief by T Dawson of TVAS revealed an undated shallow gully alongside evidence of extensive modern disturbance.

Evaluation by S Ford and M Gittins of TVAS revealed evidence of extensive previous disturbance, but no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by J Pine and A Weale of TVAS in advance of possible mineral extraction involved the excavation of 149 trenches. A high density of certain and probable archaeological deposits was revealed, with 60% of the trenches proving positive, although little cultural or environmental dating evidence was recovered from them. Where such evidence was present, the deposits reflected Early Neolithic and probable Middle to Late Bronze Age occupation, with prehistoric activity of other periods represented by a few pieces of possible Mesolithic flintwork, Late Neolithic and Late Iron Age pottery.

Report by A Weale published in SyAC 96, 215–225.

Evaluation by S Cass of TVAS did not reveal any finds or features of archaeological interest.
