Summary

Fieldwalking in 1983 by the Fenland Survey recovered sherds of medieval pot scattered over this field, with more noted in the eastern half. A small concentration of medieval pottery sherds, accompanied by large amounts of modern debris was also noted on top of a medium roddon. This concentration probably extends into the next field which is under pasture. Metal-detecting in 2013 recovered medieval and post-medieval coins.
