Trench one revealed a substantial though undated feature. Trenches two and four contained no features of archaeological significance. Trenches three and five contained a shallow, linear feature of late postmedieval date. Trench seven contained two features interpreted as inhumation burials. No dating evidence was recovered from the partially excavated burial. They were likely to date from the Anglo- Saxon period.

The trenches revealed a sparse scatter of Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age features across much of the site. These features included a small number of pits, a few gullies and some shallow linear features of uncertain interpretation. These features were found to contain a number of struck flints, a very small amount of coarse-tempered pottery and a quantity of marine shell. Though a clear pattern of settlement was not established, the features observed were sufficient to indicate the likelihood of such settlement in the vicinity.

A single narrow gully had been truncated by modern service trenches. A small fragment of pottery and fragments of worked flint within the gulley suggest an Early Bronze Age date. Crop marks in the fields around the site indicate activity at this date. A lack of residual material was probably caused in part by the construction of the military bungalows on the site in the 1950's. It is possible that the absence of features reflects a real absence of archaeological activity on the site.

Evidence of medieval activity was found. Undated pits and a gully were also located. In trench four, there was a large pit, probably a soil quarry, the backfill of which contained medieval roof tile and an iron bucket handle. In trench 12 there was a series of nine unlined, small, rubbish pits and one post hole. Pottery from these pits dates from 1050-1250, other finds from these contexts included metallic slag.
