Summary

A number of undated dark soilmarks have been identified. It has been suggested that these could be these remains of a kiln or a hearth. Prehistoric pot boilers, Roman and medieval coins and a post medieval token have been collected, but unfortunately these do not provide a date for the soilmarks.
