Summary

Fieldwalking in 1990 recovered many pieces of medieval and post-medieval pottery, suggesting this was the site of a medieval settlement. Subsequent metal-detecting between 2022 and 2024 recovered medieval coins and several other metal objects, including an Early Saxon brooch fragment; a medieval buckle or mount and harness pendant and a post-medieval coin weight.
