Archaeological trench evaluation on land to the west of Old Exeter Road revealed six dispersed largely undated ditch features and a single post hole. Three of the ditches and the posthole, located towards the north-east corner of the site (within Trenches 1 and 2) are probably prehistoric in origin. The remaining ditches are probably medieval or later, with one dated to the 18th-19th century. A single sherd of prehistoric pottery was recovered from the topsoil in the vicinity of the supposed prehistoric ditches.
