Evaluation by G Kinsley of SLR revealed the remains of an 18th century barn, but no evidence for earlier occupation or activity. A palaeoenvironmental assessment by M Allen of Allen Environmental Archaeology was carried out during the evaluation to examine colluvial deposits. Tentative evidence for human activity was noted within a sequence that contained buried soil horizons and was suggestive of changing land use. The sequence could not be firmly dated, but an assemblage of land snail remains from within it lacked examples known to have been introduced during the medieval period, suggesting that the colluviation stabilised and ceased prior to this date.
