Full Description
July 1991: A small scatter of ?prehistoric pottery sherds and flint flakes were found during a watching brief after the plough soil had been mechanically removed. Trial trenching revealed an area of hill wash 0.18m-0.5m deep as well as recovered a few small sherds of hand-made ?Iron Age pottery and some peg tile fragments. This site is close to the cropmark complex BUC 004 and there is a probable ring ditch in the same field (S1).
Descriptions of flint finds are broad, dating to a specific period bracket is ill-advised. However, they may be later Prehistoric, based on other finds and context (S2).
