Four hectares of topsoil stripping was conducted under continuous archaeological supervision by Poole Museums Service, in 1989. Fifteen pits were uncovered, thirteen of which showed signs of extensive burning in situ but no dating evidence. One pit contained neolithic narrow blade flintwork and the other Bronze Age pottery and a flint awl. An isolated un-urned cremation was also found.
