Excavation revealed a subdivided rectilinear enclosure defined by ditches, pits and post holes which represented a medieval farmstead dating to the 12th to 14th centuries. The farmstead complex when though several phases of development with evidence that this had been abandoned by the 14th Century. A single post medieval boundary ditch was also recorded truncating the farmstead enclosure (S1).
