Full Description

S. Howard (HES), 30 June 2011.
August-September 2015. Metal-detecting Survey.
Systematic surveys within proposed development area (MDs 2 and 3).
The first of the two small areas examined in this field (MD2) coincided with the recorded location of two cropmark ring-ditches (NHER 29829). The small number of metal objects recovered here included a medieval brooch, an unidentified copper alloy object of probable medieval/post-medieval date and a lead object that was possible part of a post-medieval candlestick.
The second area examined actually coincided with a site of a large former quarry pit where objects had been recovered during the 1920s (NHER 9142). The copper alloy mount of possible post-medieval date was the only object recovered at this location.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.
