The site is bounded to the north by the A612 Main Street, to the west and east by adjacent properties and to the south by orchards and fields. Within the confines of property boundary itself the public house was located in the north and west, whilst the south and east was given over to costumer parking. The archaeological monitoring comprised the excavation of three 2.00m deep soakaway trenches, each measuring approximately 2m wide by between 2 to 3m in length, plus the monitoring of numerous drainage runs and the foundation trenches for two separate garden walls. These were excavated to depths of between 0.50 to 0.86m and measured approximately 0.60m in width. All trenches were machine excavated using a flat-bladed bucket. The fact that no finds or features pre-dating the early modern period were encountered during the monitoring and recording programme, suggests that the site has undergone fairly extensive disturbance during the earlier construction phases. Whether this occurred when the earliest recorded buildings on the site were constructed in around 1716, or whether it was associated with the subsequent phases of development and expansion is unclear. Additionally the limited extent of the excavated areas monitored would reduce the probability of deeper features of archaeological interest being seen and it is possible that such features could still remain largely undisturbed within the site boundaries.
