2 November 1982.
Odds and ends of Roman and medieval sherds and prehistoric flints over this field. Also medieval tile fragments.
(Flints are Beaker - F. Healy (NAU)).
No concentrations.
Southern part of field (Context 1) has a series of parallel ridges/low banks running east-to-west with perhaps a terminal bank running north- to-south on west side. The most northerly and southerly banks appear to be the most obvious in places but there are a series of others in between. Approximately parallel to fence on south but this may not be
significant as they broadly conform to slope of ground. NAU air photograph shows old field boundary and some marks. Ridge and furrow?
At 6862 0942 (Context 2) small scatter of prehistoric flints 10m x 10m.
Identifications by R. Silvester (NAU) December 1982.
