Summary

Fieldwalking in 1986 by the Fenland Survey recovered a number of medieval pottery sherds, as well as a concentration of post medieval building material which may indicate that this was the site of a post medieval building. In 1994 a number of medieval and post medieval metal objects were recovered, including a 16th century copper alloy book clasp, with ring-and-dot decoration and incised lines.
