	Prehistoric A total of 39 pieces of worked flint came from this field, and included a number of Mesolithic pieces, including two cores, a core rejuvenation piece and some blades and flakes. Some of the pieces were Later Neolithic/Early Bronze Age in date, and included a fragment of a plano-convex knife.

	Romano-British Twenty eight pot sherds and two tile fragments assigned to the Romano-British period were discovered.
	Medieval One 10th-11th C. sherd and five examples of 12th C. ware were collected (no clear spatial patterning discernible). The project gleaned 267 sherds of 13th-14th C. pottery, with most of these finds being located towards the southern end of the fieldwalking grid. Twenty six 15th-mid 16th C. pot sherds and a number of Medieval brick/tile fragments were also recorded. The artefactual evidence outlined above suggests that following moderate manuring during the Romano-British and Saxo-Norman periods, the field in question was the scene of significant 13th-14th C. settlement activity.

	Post-medieval Thirty two mid 16th-early 18th C. and 265 18th-19th C. pot sherds were recorded across the area of inspection. Additional discoveries included numerous Post-medieval tile/brick fragments, eight Post-medieval clay pipe segments and a 19th C. whetstone.
