The assessment also indicated medieval sites of archaeological importance close to the study area.

There was some evidence for Roman remains and the possibility of medieval archaeology, however, it was thought that tree planting in the 19th century would have truncated any archaeological deposits.

Archaeological Desktop Study Erskine, J Bristol : Avon Archaeological Unit, 2003, 30pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Work undertaken by: Avon Archaeological Unit An area of earthworks, some 2.5 ha in extent, located south of Knole Park, a presumed Iron Age Hill Fort, had been noted adjacent to a significant field name, Brick Hill. This area required further investigation. The strip of high ground which, would, in the main, be destroyed has the potential for survival of prehistoric material which cannot be located in this exercise.

Medieval deposits were thought likely, perhaps comprising a moat or pond. Another pond in the area was thought to relate to post-medieval industry, perhaps related to the wool trade.
