Over 70 features were distributed across the site; these features comprised pits, post-holes, spreads and linear features. Over 200 sherds of pottery and 30 pieces of struck flint were recovered during the course of the excavation. The artefactual material can be dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age which indicates multiple phases of occupation.
A small sub-square structure was also identified. This was radiocarbon dated to the 17th century.
