Fieldwalking in 1985 by the Fenland Survey recovered a number of medieval pottery sherds from this field, as well as noting two concentrations of material. One was a small scatter of medieval pottery sherds, and the other comprised medieval pottery sherds, shell, bone and post medieval building rubble. This later concentration was situated on the edge of a possible medieval trackway.
