General scatter of occasional medieval pottery sherds and worked flints. The small flint assemblage comprises a core trimming flake and two blades of possible Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date.

Site MDT 12 (TF 6645 1451; Context 2).
Moderate concentrations of medieval pottery with sparse shell and very little post medieval material. Grey soil further indicates occupation area. To northwest a further tongue of material appears to indicate an extension rather than new site. All around old mill.

For further details see project archive (S1) and final publication (S2). It is suggested in (S2) that this is the site of a medieval settlement on the edge of a small green or common.
