Summary

Fieldwalking and metal-detecting between 2009 and 2015 recovered Roman, medieval and post-medieval coins; a post-medieval jetton and Early Saxon and Late Saxon to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include an Early Saxon small-long brooch; a Late Saxon disc brooch; medieval buckles, a strap end, button, thimble, unidentified copper alloy object and one half of a pair of shears and post-medieval buckles. A post-medieval silver coin was possibly found here in 2010, but may instead be from NHER 54141.
