Summary

In 1985 an iron macehead was found on the ground surface here by chance. The mace survived in good condition but could not be dated. Subsequent metal detecting on the same site in 2006 recovered two medieval coins and a post medieval jetton. The site has continued to be detected on in 2008, and a range of Roman, Medieval and Post-Medieval objects have been recovered.
