Site extends over two hectares and has 'four or five scatters of domestic refuse' with pottery AD 150 to 350. Several fragments of small millstone grit millstones. Pottery west of parish boundary has higher percentage of late forms, some Shouldham ware including rouletted storage jar and flanged bowl decorated internally with wavy line. On slight gravel ridge in fen. From card by [1] 1977 given to NCM, but not sent on to NAU until February 1982. Material not seen.
