Further geophysical survey carried out in Easter and October 1996 was inconclusive. A number of amomalies were identified and interpreted as a pair of roughly parallel E-W aligned ditches, modern features including water pipes associated with a cattle trough and a number of anomalies which could not be identified (B8).
Plots of geophysical survey carried out by Marlow Archaeological Society in 2005 in an attempt to provide further evidence related to the earthworks (B9).
The geophysical survey in this area did not clearly reveal the presence of any features (B10).
