Evaluation by M Collings of ASE revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Evaluation by T Malim of GAP encountered extensive remains of 19th century structures relating to gunpowder manufacture on the site, although little evidence for earlier activity was observed

Evaluation by J Pine of TVAS revealed evidence for 13th–15th century layers, with the possibility of a cut feature of medieval date also being discovered, although this could not be confirmed. Evidence of 17th–18th century pitting activity was also revealed, followed by 19th–20th century disturbance in a relatively deep sequence that suggested continuous activity on the site for some considerable time.

Topographic survey by D and A Graham of SyAS of a Bronze Age barrow previously investigated by Pitt-Rivers in 1877. The survey revealed clear evidence for the external bank and ditch, although previous suggestions of a related causeway were disproved. (Bulletin 382)

Radiocarbon dating of samples taken from four sections cut across boundary banks by J English of SyAS indicated a Middle Bronze Age date. (398)

Evaluation by D Eddisford of AOC revealed no finds or features of archaeological interest.

Excavation by J Pine of TVAS following evaluation in 2004. The earliest features recorded were a series of 13th–14th century pits containing an array of domestic rubbish. There appeared to be a hiatus in activity following this, with little further activity noted until a 17th century soil/rubbish horizon was revealed. Pitting then continued into the 18th and 19th centuries in a sequence of fairly typical urban backlands activity. A subsequent watching brief was undertaken during the underpinning of a boundary wall.
