Full Description

23 March 2016. Excavation.
Two trenches were excavated east-west just north of and north-south across the site of the Early Saxon copper alloy bowl, Frankish pottery jar and the remains of an iron-bound bucket recovered in December 2015/January 2016. The hole excavated during the earlier removal of the finds was also re-excavated and this showed that the finds were deposited within a pit measuring 0.48m x 0.38m and approximately 0.2m deep. The trenches revealed no archaeological features associated with the pit.
A handle mount from an Early Saxon copper alloy-bound bucket was recovered to the north of the excavations and is recorded under NHER 59938.
