Linear anomalies were detected by the geophysical survey and probably represent former field boundaries, one of which is shown on the 1891 ordnance survey map. Fieldwalking recovered four flint scrapers, four flint flakes, a sherd of possible Iron Age pottery, a sherd of late medieval pottery, two fragments of post-medieval brick, six fragments of ceramic building material and a post-medieval pottery sherd.
