Evaluation trial trenching by S P Dyer for SCAU and Thameswey Homes Ltd revealed probably BA features including pits and a ditch. (278) The subsequent excavation by Graham Hayman of SCAU, for Thameswey Homes Ltd, produced evidence for more than one phase of use in the early-middle Bronze Age. Excavated features included two large pits, identified as waterholes, which were waterlogged, preserving organic materials not normally found on archaeological sites. One piece of preserved wood is thought to have been the base of a bucket. Pollen and plant macro-fossil analysis of the sediments from the waterholes indicated that the contemporary environment was open grassland and waste ground, with woodland nearby.
