Full Description
Excavations on the site revealed evidence of largely medieval, modern and unphased agricultural activity. The high medieval period is represented by a spread of relict soil. Recorded ditch features are medieval or post-medieval date based on post-dating the medieval soil. Finds include three worked flints of early prehistoric (Mesolithic and Neolithic) date, two Roman brooches and a possible Anglo-Saxon clasp. These finds were not associated with phased archaeological features. A metal-detection survey also identified a silver coin from the reign of King Henry I, the only coin of the Norman kings to have been found during the EAONE archaeological mitigation scheme (S1).
