NHER 5190 (Monument record) - Prehistoric finds and medieval pottery

1964. Stray Find (c. 2; TL 6940 9060).
Late Bronze Age fragment of copper alloy found.

Pre 1980 Stray Find (c. 3; TL 6941 9063).
Neolithic and Beaker flints found. Previously recorded as NHER 14622.

18 December 1984. Fenland Project fieldwalking.
Several discrete concentrations of material identified:

Site FWL BE (c. 1; general scatter).
Odd flints scattered over field although several came from about TL 6944 9051, not enough to form a real concentration. Also sherds of post-medieval pottery.

Site FWL 60 (c. 4; TL 6940 9054).
On side of ridge. Sparse to moderate spread of flint with sparse 'pot boilers' and odd fragments of bone. Min dimensions 31m E/W x 30m N/S. Worked flints predominantly Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age, although a small number of Early Neolithic pieces were also identified.

Site FWL 61 (c. 5; TL 6940 9066).
On ridge. Sparse but locally moderate spread of flint and 'pot boilers' with several bone fragments. Max dimensions 52m E/W x 47m N/S. Although the worked flints were predominantly Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age there was some indication that this was a composite site, with a number of potentially Mesolithic/Early Neolithic pieces also identified.

Site FWL 62 (c. 6; TL 6945 9067).
On ridge, particularly on its south side. Moderate to abundant spread of 'pot boilers' with a few flints. Max dimensions 32m E/W x 25m N/S. Worked flints not closely datable.

Site FWL 63 (c. 7; TL 6947 9068).
On low ridge. Sparse concentration of flints with a few 'pot boilers' and fragments of bone. Min dimensions 22m N/S x 15m E/W. Worked flints not closely datable.
