Full Description
1948-9 and 1952. Excavations. G. Knocker Site 2 North, Site 2 South and Site 6.
A flint road of Late Saxon date running north-northwest to south-southeast was recorded during excavations. See NHER 5847 and NHER 5758 for further details.
See (S1) for further details.

Marking on excavated site at northwest end by R. R. Clarke (NCM) not strictly accurate (due to new roads not then being on Ordnance Survey) - see site plans in publication (S1). There seems to be no record of how R. R. Clarke (NCM) plotted the majority of the road outside the excavated areas, but presumably this is a joining up of Knocker's 'probings' the locations of which are not recorded.
For actual excavations of road see NHER 5847 and 5758.
E. Rose (NAU) 5 December 1984.
The route of the road within the excavated areas has been corrected. However the course in between the excavated areas, from TL 8657 8259 to TL 8680 8243, remains as it was plotted by R. R. Clarke.
