Full Description
{1} 32 pieces of worked flint and 8 Romano-British pottery sherds were found in field 4. The quantity of flint pieces, together with their spatial distribution, indicate prehistoric activity of no particular significance on the edge of the stream valley. The assemblage is mostly patinated and comprised struck flakes with no tool-types present. The thin scatter of Roman pottery presumably results from past manuring practices.
