The Site is entirely within the Grade II Registered Park & Garden of Stanford Hall. Ground disturbance around Stanford Hall including ground reduction, landscaping, topsoil stripping for spoil storage and new roadways was machine excavated using a toothless ditching bucket under archaeological supervision and control. Due to the scale of the groundworks, archaeologists identified and observed areas of archaeological potential but wrote-off previously disturbed or otherwise archaeologically sterile areas. A pair of shallow post holes were discovered in front of the hall containing late Neolithic/early Bronze Age Pottery. Nearby were two linear ditches of probable Roman date. Other features revealed were related to the landscaping activities undertaken during 18th-19th centuries.
