Full Description
{1} 1 sherd of Romano-British pottery and 24 flints were recovered. The flint defined extensive background scatters with no obvious clusters. 1 Saxon and 5 medieval pottery sherd were found.
Eleven objects were recorded following metal detecting. A small cluster was found near Area B, but their undiagnostic nature precludes any interpretation. The remaining items showed no significant spatial patterning. All the coins and buttons were heavily abraded.
