Full Description
1960s-70s. From [1]. Fieldwork finds.
Fieldwalking in the 1960s and 1970s recovered a scatter of prehistoric flint flakes, scrapers, fabricators and noted a concentration of pot boilers. A small number of Roman, Middle Saxon, Late Saxon and medieval and post medieval pottery sherds were also recovered. In addition a number of fragments of undated glass and metal working debris were also recovered.
In 1963 a short ditch complex was also recorded, though whether this refers to a cropmark or to an excavation is unclear. In addition two Neolithic polished axehead fragments were also discovered. This site is also thought to be the course of an old road.
