Archaeological watching brief undertaken in October 1987 during building works. No archaeological features were observed in the foundation trenches.

Further concentrations of early-middle Saxon pottery have been found during fieldwalking survey in the vicinity.

{1}Archaeological watching brief undertaken during building works. No archaeological features were observed in the foundation trenches. Pottery collected included one sherd of Roman, five early-middle Saxon, one late Saxon, 15 medieval and 21 post-medieval sherds.

{3} Fieldwalking has identified early middle Saxon scatters on either side of the valley, some 600m apart. A further collection of 5 early middle Saxon sherds was made from spoil heaps during building construction between High Street and Back Lane some 250m down-slope from the northern surface scatter at SP98837524. This could represent another focus of activity, though no features were identified in the builders' trenches.
