Full Description
Pottery and flint collected during fieldwalking in 1987. The field was walked at 5m intervals. There were 40 pieces of flint recovered, including three scrapers, a number of flakes (a couple with possible retouch), several cores and a quantity of waste material. Pottery sherds included one piece of Iron Age, two pieces of Roman, five pieces of early medieval and 25 pieces of medieval date. (1)
Part of the field was walked again in 1997 as it lay on the route of a proposed pipeline. Material collected included two scrapers, two waste flakes and a grey ware rim sherd from a wide-mouthed jar or bowl, probably of 3rd century date. Geophysical survey of a 160m strip along the proposed pipeline route within the field failed to show any significant anomalies. Nevertheless, the quantity and concentration of finds indicate activity in this area, especially within the prehistoric and medieval periods. The flints suggest that this may represent a prehistoric working or habitation site. (2)
