The geophysical survey and trial trenching revealed evidence for a Late Iron Age/Early Romano-British settlement within the west of the Site. (1)

The settlement activity was contained within two large and intersecting enclosures. (1)

There is no clear differentiation between the northern and southern enclosures, although the presence of a shallow hollow way forming the eastern extent of the northern enclosure suggests that this area was not used for habitation. The southern area may also have been solely used for stock control but the small material assemblage, including quantities of charred plant remains, a brooch and possible stylus hints at occupation in at least one of the enclosures. (1)

The site fell out of use in the late Roman period, with no evidence of activity until the site was subject to ridge and furrow agricultural activity in the medieval or post-medieval period. (2)
