NN 908 632 Topographic, geophysical and metal detecting surveys and limited excavation were carried out in May and June 2003 in the course of filming for the second series of Two Men in a Trench. The so-called Tomb Clavers was shown to be a cenotaph and not a burial; the line of the original building of Urrard House was traced; a 19th-century farm building was excavated; and material relating to the battle was recovered in the metal detector surveys.
