Full Description
1931.
Dr. Philip Laver told R. R. Clarke (NCM) that there was a slight mound 61cm (2') high with Roman pottery and tesserae at TF 7055 2180.
See (S1).
Other sites of Laver's from which 'Roman pottery' has been retained, have proved on re-examination to be Thetford Ware and medieval (Material reidentified).
1974.
A. Rogerson (NAU) confirms no mound at Laver's grid reference.
1979.
Grid reference given at top of record is almost certainly the one meant, it is a mound about 10m long, apparently consisting almost of medieval pottery according to A. Rogerson (NAU).
On (S2) it is marked by a dark outline on its west side (it is rectangular in shape) and with a dark square cropmark on top.
E. Rose (NAU).
Before 10 October 2010. Stray finds.
96 fragments of Late Saxon Thetford-ware pottery.
See description in file.
A. Rogerson (HES), 25 October 2011.
