(S1) identifies three sites recorded under this number.
Site 155 is the site of a medieval settlement which had disappeared by the post medieval (possibly shifting to the site of nearby Plumer's Farm).
Site 156 is the site of a medieval settlement, and together with Site 155 represents expansion into areas not exploited since the Middle Saxon period.
Site 157 is the site of a probable Middle Saxon settlement, but there is no evidence for later occupation.
