Abstract/Summary

A late Iron Age to early Roman rectilinear enclosure, boundary ditch and field system produced pottery and animal bone suggsting that the settlement was of average status. Evidence for craft production included two triangular loomweights. The postholes of a small timber hall and other probable timber structures have been radiocarbon dated to the middle Anglo-Saxon period (mid to late 7th to 8th centuries AD). The settlement had been abandoned before the late Saxon period, but it may have been a precursor to medieval settlement at nearby Thorpe End.
