A geophysical survey was carried out to determine the nature and extent of the barrow. The sub circular ditch around the barrow is clearly visible and encloses a number of maculae. A number of further features are identified outside of the barrow ditch and are suggestive of a number of pits associated with the contemporary activity around the barrow.

Excavation took place intermitently between 2005-2008 and the pottery evidence suggests that this site continued to be in use beyond the 1170s (previously thought to be abandoned). A large quantity of buildi9ng rubble was identified within the excavations, the walls were of flint construction and the original structure probably had a vaulted roof.

EVENT MODERN EVENT Excavation Modern
A minor excavation within the ditch area was carried out in September 2001 by Raleigh Place, as well as fieldwalking of the area. Six sherds of C12 to C14 cooking pots, eight sherds of C13 tripod pitcher were discovered; nine C13 to C14 green glazed jug sherds were found as was one C15/C16 decorated fragment of pot rim.

EVENT MODERN EVENT Personal Observation Modern
In September 1956 a field investigator reported that the enclosure was at the bottom of an eastern slope, but that, apart from the remains of part of the ditch on the south side, there was no trace of the earthwork. It was probably a Romano-British settlement site connected with the field system recorded as centred at SU520545.
1956-
EVENT MODERN EVENT Personal Observation Modern
Further research & thought led Legg to strongly suggest that this original earthwork, far from being IA, is medieval & the remains of the domus regis built by Henry II in 1172

EVENT MODERN EVENT Geophysical Survey Modern
Geophysical survey undertaken at Tidgrove Warren Farm, near Kingsclere. The survey was carried out by Kingsclere Heritage Association, and focussed on two sites, a medieval royal enclosure and a potential romano-british farmstead or villa. The survey successfully located a number of archaeological features associated with the medieval and Roman sites, including the enclosure ditch of the royal house and structural remains of the farmstead.
2003-
EVENT MODERN EVENT Field Walking Modern
Field walking was carried out in October 2000 within the ditch area of the enclosure and produced a few fragments of late New Forest Ware, and a considerable number of pottery sherds mostly dated to the 11th to 14th centuries, together with a few late medieval or post-medieval sherds.

A further field investigation in 1967 reported that there was now no trace of the enclosure in a young crop and that no surface finds were made.

On May 30th 1926 Mr G. B. Bull observed in Bogley Bottom a dark rectangular crop mark in the corn. The mark was 1.5 yards wide and measured approximately 88x44 yards. Mr Bull also reported that Roman pottery occurred in the area and concluded that it was possibly the site of a Roman camp.
1926-
EVENT UNDERCROFT Built Medieval
Whilst much of the hunting lodge had been damaged by plough action, significant remains of an undercroft or cellar have been identified as being cut into the hill slope. The undercroft was 2.5m deep, and the flint and mortar walls were 1.2m thick and it has been suggested that this site was similar in scale to the early Clarendon Palace.
1066 1539- to
EVENT RECTANGULAR ENCLOSURE Created Medieval
Bank and outer ditch of a roughly rectangular enclosure measuring 80m x 50m overall was revealed as crop - marks on AP in 1947. The enclosure is sited on the bottom of an eastern slope. Only the remains of part of the ditch c. 8m wide and 0. 3m deep on the south side can be seen (1956). No trace of this enclosure could be seen under young crop, (1967). Finds recovered range from the Roman to post-Medieval periods. Examination of this enclosure suggested strongly that this was the location of the King's Houses (domus regis) which Henry II caused to be built at Tidgrove, the discovery of an oyster shell suggests that the site was indeed high status.

A excavation was carried out after the results of a geophysical survey suggested the site of Romano-Britsih settlement. The excavation, in the main, focused on identifiying the extent of the settlement and identifying the longevity of its useage. The ditches of the rectangular enclosure were excavationed and a number of neonate burials were found within this. The material deposits point to a late Iron Age foundation for the settlement.
2004-
EVENT INHUMATION Deposited Roman
A number of infant inhumations were identified within the trenches in addition to up to 9 other adult individuals. There were varying degrees of preservation and many had been disarticulated. Two of the neonates had puncture wounds to their skulls, and whilst this may be the result of post burial distrubance it cannot be ruled out that this may be a deliberate trauma.It is thought that the neonates were burried around the same time.

Geophysical survey undertaken at Tidgrove Warren Farm, near Kingsclere. The survey was carried out by Kingsclere Heritage Association, and focussed on two sites, a medieval royal enclosure and a potential romano-british farmstead or villa. The survey successfully located a number of archaeological features associated with the medieval and Roman sites, including the enclosure ditch of the royal house and structural remains of the farmstead.

EVENT MODERN EVENT Geophysical Survey Modern
The results of the 2005 geophysical survey were successful in locating a number of features associated with the Romano-British settlement at Tidgrove Warren Farm. The results show the extent and nature of the settlement as a whole, including the outer and inner enclosures, and associated structural remains, and evidence of agricultural activity. Evidence for a number of potential industrial features has also now been recorded to the west of the modern hedgerow. There appear to be at least four possible kilns or corn-driers spread along the ridge. The western and northern limits of the settlement also appear to have been reached. There does not appear to be any evidence of substantial structures of the form and scale of a vill at the site. The badly disturbed nature of archaeological deposits in the western part of the settlement can also be seen in the survey results.

EVENT ENCLOSURE Built Early Neolithic
The 2005-07 excavations were concentrated within two enclosures. The smaller inner one was felt to be of prehistoric date, although no firm dating evidence was found.

EVENT CELLAR Built Medieval
The 2005-07 excavations uncovered the remains of a cellar situated close to the southern enclosure ditch. This was a flint and mortar walled structure measuring approximately 8m x 4.5m wide. It would have been accessed by a set of teps to the northeast corner. Hollows cut into the chalk floor suggest the presence of fittings within the cellar. In addition, a medieval key was found close to the chalk floor surface.The cellar was a grand structure, with plastered flint-lined walls and a side entrance with stone-lined stairs. It probably had a stone barrel-vaulted roof with buildings above it.

EVENT AISLED HALL HOUSE Built Medieval
The 2005-07 excavations discovered an aisled hall to the northwest of the cellared building. The foundations had been robbed but there was evidence of two rows of three support beams and a narrow slot for the walls of the building. Several features were noted beneath the floor and were felt to relate to a previous hall or earlier, prehistoric, activities.

EVENT ENCLOSURE Built Medieval
The 2005-07 excavations were concentrated within two enclosures. The larger outer enclosure was felt to be of later date than the prehistoric inner one. A medieval date was suggested for this feature.

EVENT MODERN EVENT Excavation Modern
Southampton University carried out fieldwork in the area around Tidgrove Warren Farm from 2005-07 in order to investigate the patterns of prehistoric/Roman/medieval settlement in an area of lowland close to the line of the Portway. This work focused on a medieval ditched enclosure and identified a number of multi-period features. These comprised a small prehistoric enclosure, a larger medieval enclosure, the remains of a medieval cellared building and aisled hall along with a possible well or latrine. These features may be related/described by other sites in the area. Therefore see also Monuids 21127, 36924, 36925, 36926, 56882, 56883 and 57174.
