This is recorded as site 29 in (S2), where Thetford type ware occurs in a wide band parallel to the road. Some fragments of fired clay daub were found to the west of the site. The site continued to be occupied into the medieval period, and over 200 fragments of medieval pottery have been recovered. These finds are close to what was probably the core of the original village of Bodney.
