Evaluation carried out by TVAS in July 2001 in advance of building a new extension to house. A single trial trench, 10m long and 1.5m wide was dug in the footprint of the proposed extension. The trench was up to 1.75m deep and produced 23 sherds of 17th century pottery and 6 fragments of pipe clay. A firm orange deposit with occassional patches and clumps of clay, produced a single sherds of 17th century pottery and four fragments of tile and was interpreted as the backfilling of a quarry. Four Winds is shown on the 1742 'Plan of the Town of Agmondesham' under the ownership of Mr George Wright. The 1925 OS map shows the house with a small structure in the SE corner of the garden (B2).
