The site is on the north side of the modern village, to the north of Cliffhill Lane which branches northeast from Man Street towards Thoroton and Orston. The southern boundary of the site is Cliffhill Lane, with rural farmland occupying much of the land to the north, east and west. The area of the site is given as c.4.62 hectares; two fields fronting onto Cliffhill Lane, and the southern half of a large field to the north. Four evaluation trenches, each 30mx2m, were originally proposed to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Two of these were positioned to further investigate a possible enclosure ditch and other potentially associated anomalies on the northern boundary of the site, with two further trenches excavated in the central and southern areas of the site where no previous trenching had been undertaken. Trenches were located using GPS according to the approved trenching plan based on the geo-referenced geophysics. The trenching revealed ditches that generally corresponded with identified linear magnetic anomalies; thought to relate to field boundaries seen on historic mapping. One large ditch did not correspond with any mapping, nor did it feature as a magnetic anomaly. The remains of ridge and furrow were identified across the site. Dating evidence was limited; a single sherd each of Roman grey ware, Saxon Torksey ware and a later post-medieval sherd associated with a fragment of CBM of the same date. These artefacts are thought to be trace evidence of activity in the wider landscape; residual in later features.
