Context 2: at 4970 1487 concentration of medieval pottery, moderately abundant. Moderate amount of animal bone, very sparse fired clay and slag. Area slightly stained grey. On east side former drove continuing line of Chapelfield drove, perhaps follows roddon. About 45m x 25m. WPP 31 (S2).
Site is a rarity in Marshland as only merest contamination of late medieval/post medieval material. Probably less disturbed than most owing to orchard.
