Soil unweathered, very careful scrutiny of cover loam derived soil yielded no evidence of underlying occupation. Occasional pantile and brick fragments and four sherds glazed red earthenware not collected. One flint flake and one medieval unglazed bodysherd retained. No evidence connected with hall site to north or suggesting early village round church.
