Summary

Fieldwalking in 1985 by the Fenland Survey recovered a general scatter of medieval pottery sherds from the southern part of this field. A concentration of sparse medieval pottery, shell and bone was also noted, along with sparse modern material and brick. This was situated partly on top of a bank which could be a roddon, but is more likely to be associated with an infilled dyke.
