Summary

Fieldwalking in 1985 by the Fenland Survey recovered a general scatter of medieval pottery sherds, as well as noting a small concentration which included pottery sherds, shell, animal bone and some post medieval material. This was recovered from the area of a small former watercourse, adjacent to what may be a medieval drove or lane.
