Summary

Fieldwalking in 1984 by the Fenland Survey recovered a general scatter of medieval pottery sherds. A concentration of Roman pottery sherds were also noted, which may have derived from dyke cleaning where a watercourse passes through this area. Metal detecting in 1991 recovered a medieval stud with a back plate from a harness/belt fitting.
