An archaeological evaluation on the former site of Vaux Brewery in 2003-2004 identified a site used possibly from the Mesolithic period through to the early Iron Age. The form and dimensions of some of the features, particularly a large ditch at least 6.80m wide with an associated bank, possibly a boundary ditch or enclosure feature, a possible ditch terminus and large pit, along with the relatively large quantity of Middle Bronze Age pottery recovered, suggests that the site may have been the location of an important long-lived settlement focus during the 2nd millennium BC and through to the early Iron Age c. 1000-700 BC. Artefactual material from the site was of high regional significance. The lithic assemblage (28 flakes, scrapers, cores, blades) dated from two distinct periods - blades and blade-like flakes characteristic of the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic periods, and the cores and primary flakes characteristic of the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. All but two of the ceramic sherds date from the Middle Bronze Age, 2nd millennium BC. These include well-preserved sherds from a variety of handmade vessels, some decorated and with extant rims. The remaining two sherds are either Late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. They came from a well-stratified ditch fill. A worked bone object was also recovered - a thin (2mm) circular bone disc, 27mm in diameter, with a central hole, 7mm in diameter. Weight 1g. One side has four incised grooves radiating away from the central hole. It is most likely to be of prehistoric origin, but the function of the object has not been ascertained. It may have been a personal adornment such as a pendant.
In 2015 a curved gully terminal was recorded during a watching brief on St. Mary's Way. The gully measured 1m x 0.3m and was 0.1m deep. It was cut into the natural subsoil at a depth of 1.2m. There was no dating evidence for this feature.
Evidence of prehistoric occupation from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. Intercutting ditches, gullies, pits and postholes were identified and recorded in the southern half of the site in 2019. Radiocarbon dating of charred hazelnut shells found in two different features provided Mesolithic dates of 7729-7598 cal BC and 8206-7836 cal BC. The report suggests that there was a Mesolithic camp on site. Middle Bronze Age pottery, flint and Iron Age pottery were also recovered in ditch fills. Charred remains obtained from one ditch sample returned a Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age (2480-2280 cal BC) radiocarbon date. The report notes a lack of Romano-British occupation of the site. The excavations were conducted in advance of development at the former Vaux brewery site.

This presumed WW2 supply depot or dump is shown on Ordnance Survey fifth edition of c1950. Aerial photographs taken in 1946 show a double track, with the supply dump encircled by a fence or ditch. Crates, drums and a number of Nissen huts can be seen either side of Salter's Lane. The creation of this site meant the destruction of ridge and furrow which survived in these fields. Three of the Nissen huts had been demolished by October 1947. By August 1954 the site is out of use and is overgrown with vegetation. Became playing fields for the George Stephenson Grammar School by 1956.
