Pre-1974. Stray find.
Medieval sherds found.
1975.
Very large ditch or pit seen in section. Foundations, Early Saxon and medieval sherd.
January 1977. Geophysical Survey.
Attempted geophysical survey by Ancient Monuments Laboratory. This work was intended to investigate the direction and associations of the large feature that had been revealed in a pipe trench in 1975 but was hindered by the presence of several gipsy caravans. Preliminary scanning identified a number of broad anomalies but these could not be traced to a distinctive or continuous pattern. Three 30m squares were surveyed in an appropriate area of open ground but the weak anomalies detected did not give the impression of being distinctive archaeological features.
See report (S1) for further details.
