Excavation in 2000-2002 carried out as part of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link found a rectangular structure c. 4.5m x 6m in size. To the east of this building and possibly associated with it were the insubstantial remains of what may have been a narrow wall. This was constructed of flint nodules and it apparently formed the western boundary to a gravel surface possibly a yard contemporary with the building.
