In 2012 Canterbury Archaeological Trust carried out an evaluation. A total of 52 fresh worked flints were recovered, including a small polished axe. Some possible focus was identified in the distribution of the material. A join was made indicating that knapping was occurring on the site. Three cores were also found. (1)
