Prehistoric
Twelve pieces of humanly-struck flint, including two Mesolithic cores/core fragments and an Early Neolithic or perhaps even Upper Palaeolithic long blade were documented.
Romano-British
At least one sherd of Romano-British pottery was recovered.
Medieval
One sherd of later 12th century pottery was identified.
A minimum of 298 13th-14th century pot sherds surely indicative of settlement/occupation activity were found across the northern half of the field, with the densest concentration being recorded within the north-easternmost corner. The discoveries included part of a bung hole pitcher dated to c.1250–1350.
Just 23 or 24 sherds of 15th-mid 16th century pottery were also located across the northernmost half of the field. Such evidence would suggest a decrease in local activity during this period
Post-medieval
A spread of Post-medieval pottery and brick/tile was recorded across the northern half of the field.
Method: Part of field surveyed. Close line-walking was employed. A rough grid is marked on two plans held within the Project File. Eastern part randomly walked at end of day.
