Summary

A fieldwalking and metal-detecting survey of part of this field in 2008 recovered objects of predominantly post-medieval date. Other finds included a small number of prehistoric worked flints and Roman, medieval and medieval/post-medieval pottery sherds. Metal-detecting between 2014 and 2016 recovered Roman, medieval and post-medieval coins; medieval and post-medieval jettons; post-medieval tokens and Middle Iron Age to Roman and Late Saxon to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include a Middle Iron Age brooch; a Late Iron Age/Roman brooch; a Roman buckle; Late Saxon stirrup terminal mount; medieval to post-medieval dress accessories; a medieval coin weight and armorial mount; medieval/post-medieval copper alloy rings, a staple, "paper-clip" rivet and copper alloy vessel fragments, including vessel repairs and post-medieval crotal bells, a lead weight, furniture escutcheon-plate and the eye plate from a book clasp.
