Full Description
{1} Fieldwalking recovered 2 sherds of Iron Age pottery, 22 sherds of Romano-British pottery and 194 sherds of early middle Saxon pottery. The early middle Saxon pottery comprised a large concentration over most of the field.
Four separate concentrations of early middle Saxon pottery were identified, including a small one of c.1ha in field WR13. In no case was there certainty that the limits of the concentrations had been recognised, but all were sufficient to suggest settlement. Given the long time span however these need not have been contemporaneous and a pattern of short-lived, shifting settlements is likely.
