Evaluation and excavation by S Deeves of PCA revealed significant disturbance to the site and little of interest remained, except that in one small area flood plain deposits were found to have survived. Excavation of these deposits revealed evidence for an important occupation site datable to the later Mesolithic period, and involved the recovery of c 100,000–150,000 pieces of struck flint. Post-excavation analysis on this material is ongoing, but if initial assessments of the material are confirmed, the site assemblage would be comparable with some of the largest Mesolithic sites excavated in south-east Britain.
