Excavation and further evaluation by J Stevenson of ASE following evaluation of the site in 2003. The excavation revealed seven large pits, two smaller pits, two postholes and a probable ring gully – all likely to be part of the Middle Iron Age settlement on the site. Elements of the settlement are very similar in nature to that excavated in the early 1960s by F A Hastings a short distance to the west, and to remains revealed during explorations in the grounds of Hawk’s Hill House in 1900. One notable difference from the Hastings excavation is the presence of structural evidence in the form of the probable roundhouse, as represented by the gully. Spatial rather than stratigraphic evidence related to this potential structure indicates at least two phases of activity on the site during the Middle Iron Age. (385)
