Summary

This is the site of a Late Saxon settlement. Fragments of pottery dating from the Iron Age to the post medieval periods have been found by fieldwalking. Roman coins and brooches and medieval buckles and other metalwork have been found by metal detecting. Metal-detecting in 2011 recovered a Roman Dolphin brooch, a medieval copper alloy strap-end and a medieval/post-medieval copper alloy double-looped buckle and a gilt lead mount from a belt or harness.
