A pre-application enquiry in April 2013 and a subsequent planning application (13/01667/OUT) for residential development prompted geophysical survey (SW12112; HER44735) and trial-trenching (SW12112; HER44735 (and note that the southern part of the land had also been investigated in 2004).
The work revealed a medieval agricultural landscape with localised activity represented by pits. It is recommended that a condition is attached to any planning permission for excavation. The planning application is currently undetermined.
