Summary

Fieldwalking in 1985 by the Fenland Survey recovered a general scatter of medieval pottery sherds from this field. A concentration of medieval pottery sherds was also noted, in conjunction with animal bone and shell fragments, as well as fired clay and other post-medieval fragments and pottery sherds. Three Late Saxon pottery sherds and evidence of a possible roddon was also noted. Metal-detecting in 2013/2014 recovered a medieval lead pilgrim badge.
