The sediments found during the coring comprised extensive spreads of sand and gravel overlain by clay. It was suggested that these sediments were deposited as a result of glacial and riverine landscape processes over 10,000 years ago. No organic sediments which could preserve evidence of prehistoric and historic activities and assist in the reconstruction of long term changes in the environment were observed.

The site fell within the former medieval manor of Norton Priory. The buildings under investigation appeared to have been developed from a manor farm that dated to the 18th century and was an excellent example of evolutionary farmstead. The structures and deposits identified within the evaluation trenches were interpreted as dating from the occupation of the site as a farm. [Au(abr)]

The site had previously been geophysically surveyed and was located close to a Roman Vexillation fortress, (SM 1044), trenches were targeted to investigate anomalies, and other areas within the site. Fourteen trenches were excavated, with a total area sampled of c.960m2, approximately three percent of the total area of the site. The trenches in the northern part of the site, (1-4) produced no significant archaeological features and those that were recorded were of post-medieval origin. Trenches 7,9, 13 and 14 did contain features of uncertain date, while trenches 8, 10 and 11 corresponded closely with the results of the survey. The features found in trench 5 were not expected, bur probably correlate with what was found in trenches 8 and 10. [Au(adp)]

The evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed redevopment of a school building. Roman archaeology was identified including: 3rd Century pottery, a penannular brooch, two linear features, a pit and a post hole. The presence of 'domestic rubbish' in the pit could have suggested Roman settlement activity nearby. The linear features could have been boundaries or part of a field system. [Au(adp)]

The fieldwork identified four linear structures constructed of sandstone fragments, a number of which were well dressed and decorated. A number of finds were recovered including glass and pottery of post-medieval date. The evaluation showed that the areas directly below the houses were likely to have had too much disturbance for archaeological remains to have survived and it was suggested that further fieldwork should be focused on the garden areas.

The standing remains on the site were recorded and three machine excavated trenches were opened across the site. The investigations revealed that most of the early buildings had been destroyed by a severe flood in 1864, following which, substantial redevelopment occurred, including the building of a new sluice and wheelhouses. Later expansion and the use of steam power kept the site in use into the 20th century. The buildings themselves were utilised for industrial processes until the late 20th century. [Au(adp)]
