Summary

Sherds of green glazed pottery were found in 1975 when a drain was enlarged, and these have been tentatively identified as medieval Grimston type ware. Also discovered were coarse sherds that may be of Late Saxon date. Metal-detecting between 2008 and 2015 recovered Roman and medieval to post-medieval coins; Late Saxon and medieval pottery sherds and Iron Age, medieval, medieval/post-medieval and post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include an Iron Age pin; a medieval rowel spur and strap-end; a medieval/post-medieval spoon and lead weight and post-medieval trade weights.
