[1] The site was discovered in 1959 from cropmarks, and a partial excavation took place in August of that year.

There was a cella (an inner chamber), about 8.5 metres (28 ft) square, built of mortared flint rubble; internally the walls were plastered, and were painted with a design in yellow and black on a red ground.

In the centre there was probably a statue, as the remains of its base, diameter about 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in), were found.

A Roman metalworking area has been found nearby, and pieces of scrap metal and slag.

The settlement probably existed before the Roman period, as finds include coins and other metal objects from the late Iron Age.
