An isolated pit (2.64m x 1.04m; D 0.7m) was found during archaeological excavations in advance of the construction of a housing development in 2002 (Kiely 2004c, 218).

The ditch barrow (ext. 5.5m x 4m) consisted of a circular area defined by a fosse (Wth 0.4-0.5m; D 0.16-0.2m) ESE-N. The entrance (Wth 3.5m) faced NE. A cremation pit (0.25m x 0.16m; D 0.19m), which contained the cremated remains of an adult, occurred under the fosse at S and has been radiocarbon dated to the Iron Age (400-170 BC) (ibid.).

Discovered during archaeological excavations in advance of the construction of a housing development in 2002 (Kiely 2004c, 218-9). An oval hearth, with a linear feature (3.2m x 0.9m x 0.29m) at its SW end, was considered by the excavator to have been probably used for smithing. Slag and tuyere fragments were recovered from the fills of the hearth. A small truncated pit, possibly a second hearth, contained slag and charcoal in its fill. It was 4m to the NE of the oval hearth. Cereal grains and arable weeds were recovered from the pit. Two stake holes were also located c. 4m to the E of the hearth.

Discovered during archaeological excavations in advance of the construction of a housing development in 2002 (Kiely 2004c, 218-9). A burnt pit or furnace (0.65m x 1.17m; D 0.18m) contained the base of a shaft furnace. A calibrated radiocarbon date from the medieval period (AD 1270-1390) was obtained from one of the fills of the pit. Fragments of charcoal were also recovered from some of the fills. A linear feature was situated directly north-east of the pit and both it and the pit cut a U-shaped NE-SW fosse (5.8m x 1.4m; D 0.44m).

Discovered during archaeological excavations in advance of the construction of a housing development in 2002 (Kiely 2004c, 218-9). A trench (6m x 3m) contained four burnt layers, the largest of which measured 1.4m by 1.6m. It included fragments of charcoal, slag, burnt bone and six end scrapers. A calibrated radiocarbon date from the Early Bronze Age (2030-1870 BC) was obtained. A concentration of thirty-five circular steep-sided round-bottomed stake-holes, some of which contained end scrapers and flint debitage, was also excavated within the trench and the excavator concluded that these may have formed a number of screens or windbreaks.
