Archaeological evaluation revealed considerable variation in extent and preservation of archaeological remains. A few traces of pre-clearance properties were recorded. A substantial wall foundation in Trench 4 may date to 1740-80. Post sherds of 13th to early 15th century, and a medieval ridge tile fragment found beneath the brick surface in Trench 2, suggest that there may have been medieval activity in the area.
