January-May 2010. Systematic Fieldwalking and Metal-detecting Survey.

During the survey Neolithic to Early Bronze Age worked flint including flakes, blades, scrapers and an axehead were recovered along with pottery of Romano-British, Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval date. Metal finds from the site included a rod-like hexagonal cross-section object that tapered to a circular point, which could be a slate pencil, and a George III halfpenny (AD 1760-1820).
