Natural sand and gravel were recorded at 6.9m OD. Possible Saxon remains, comprising a number of stakeholes, two post holes and a shallow gully, were cut into the natural to the NW and SE of the site. To the SE the possible Saxon features were sealed by modern garden soil. To the N of the site late Medieval/early post-Medieval evidence included a possible domestic hearth or chimney overlying the possible Saxon stakeholes to the NW of the site and, to the E of the site, a rammed gravel surface overlying natural gravels. A 17th century pit was excavated to the SW of the site, further pits, a basements and levelling deposits across the site were assigned a late post-Medieval date, although precise dating was not possible due to the paucity of dating evidence recovered. Modern made ground and/or topsoil sealed all earlier features.
