1987. Fenland fieldwalking. HLG 6 and 7.
Late Saxon, medieval sherds, bone, shell.
At HLG 6 there are copious pottery fragments set in grey stained soil lying next to the lane. The material includes Thetford Ware and may indicate an origin for the site in the Late Saxon period, continuing into the 13th century. Another spread of medieval pottery (HLG 7) in the same field is less easy to explain in settlement terms, for it must have been perilously close to the contemporary fen edge. Possibly this was rubbish dumped in the fen in the late 12th and 13th centuries.
