The monitoring was undertaken during the reduction of the ground surface level. Segments of a north- east/south-west aligned dwarf wall were recovered, abutting another dwarf wall that extended out of the development area. Sealed flint and clay walls were dated to between the mid 17th and 18th centuries. The ground works exposed later garden soils, and in general had minimal impact on the archaeological remains of the site. [Au(abr)]

An earlier feature of interest was a shallow feature aligned northeast-southwest across the site, thought to be a truncated gully filled with an organic sub soil containing a sherd of post-medieval pottery. Several further unstratified finds were recovered from across the site including several sherds of more post-medieval pottery, two 20th century coins and a hand-made nail. [Au(abr)]

The site was designated as of international significance for Palaeolithic archaeology.

Four soakaways were also positioned along the southern part of the site. No significant deposits were present there. Subsequent monitoring of the site revealed that no undisturbed Pleistocene deposits of any potential Palaeolithic archaeological significance were present, and had almost certainly been quarried away in the late 19th century.

Observations at twenty locations excavated for soil analysis have enabled a limited interpretation of the stratigraphy exposed, and identified area likely to be richer in archaeological survival than others. Roman and medieval finds indicate 'background noise' of occupation. Despite the lack of features located during this phase of work, it was advisable that a watching brief be conducted when ground reduction was undertaken in the area of the car park and on other areas not previously reduced to check for archaeological features.

This project was the culmination of works chiefly carried out in 2001. Despite the position of the barn in the centre of the old village of Davington, little of archaeological interest was revealed either beneath the barn or in the immediate vicinity. 19th century bottle glass and pottery sherds were found in deposits beneath the barn. However, the barn itself was of clear late 17th/early 18th century date. From this, it was assumed that the barn had at some point been dismantled and re-erected at this site. [Au(abr)]

No certain archaeological features were revealed, however at the extreme south-west edge of the foundations for a garage block, a linear cut was observed. This contained a fill of well compacted, homogeneous brown clay-silt with small charcoal and burnt clay flecks. No datable material was recovered. The feature lay almost all beyond the limits of the excavation. It was thought possible that it may have related to an earlier hedgerow or boundary ditch relating to earlier field boundaries.
