Trial excavation by C H Cole for the Surrey Heath Group of SyAS produced evidence of occupation from the 13th/14th centuries to the present. Finds included a nearly complete late 16th century shoe. (184) In further excavation the earliest levels seen were a medieval trampled layer cut by a boundary and/or drainage ditch and by a 16th century building of two phases which was demolished in the mid-17th century. The site was then levelled with gravel and a timber-framed building on brick foundations was erected, to be demolished in the late 18th century to make way for a three-phase brick building. The 16th/17th century building's floor levels included fragments of globular Rhine-ware flagons (one, dated 1599), glass bottles and bowls, and around 30 complete stems of hollow cigar-shaped and lion mask stems of wine glasses of the Mansell period.
