Photographic record by C Lacey and P Wardle of The Historic Environment Consultancy and evaluation by P Jorgensen of PCA that confirmed the presence of an undisturbed medieval soil horizon across the site, as revealed in the 2011 SyAS test-pitting (SyAS 98, 257). In the central part of the site this was sealed by a layer of subsoil that produced 17th -18th century material. No features of medieval date were uncovered, but large quantities of later medieval pottery and peg tile fragments suggest a building in the vicinity. To the east of the existing building, both the medieval soil horizon and the post-medieval subsoil survived, sealed by a layer of made-ground through which the construction cut for a roughly north-south aligned 18th -19th century brick footing had been cut.
