In 2007 the site archive was reconstituted as fully as possible by bringing together holdings both from the Worcestershire County Museum at Hartlebury and from Bournemouth University. It included plans and sections, monochrome and colour transparency photographs, and context sheets, together with post-fieldwork finds catalogues and descriptions, and drafts of publication text (largely partial, except for the site structural narrative) as completed up to 1979. Some further archive material (ironwork radiographs) was identified in store at the English Heritage archives in Portsmouth and was sent to Worcester via Hereford Museum, but was then bizarrely lost en route from Hereford to Worcester. The archive was fully listed and quantified during the audit stage (Hurst and Pearson 2007). The intention is to lodge the documentary and finds archive with the Worcestershire County Museum at Hartlebury on project completion.
