Full Description
1992. Fieldwalking.
This field is one of several in this area known to have been walked by [1] in around 1992. Unfortunately it is not known exactly what was found. A map produced by the finder [2] suggests that two discrete scatters of pottery were identified. These may have been identified as medieval (if the colour conventions are consistent with those used on maps produced following surveys at other locations), but this is far from certain.

January-May 2010. Systematic Fieldwalking and Metal-detecting Survey.
Field survey of proposed development area (Field 10).
The survey revealed Iron Age, Roman, Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval pottery and an assemblage of struck flint of Neolithic to Early Bronze Age date including flakes and blades. An iron blade of unknown date and Roman brooch were also recovered during metal-detecting.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
