Summary
Metal detecting and fieldwalking have recovered a wide range of objects dating from the prehistoric to the post medieval period. These include a Bronze Age sickle, Roman coins and brooches, and a medieval leather stamp. The discovery of tessarae, Roman building material and pottery suggests there may have been a Roman building on the site. The cropmarks previously recorded under this number are now under NHER 52223—8.

The cropmarks previously recorded under this number are now under NHER 52223—8, including enclosures and fields parallel to the Roman road running southwest from Caistor Roman town (NHER 52228) and field boundaries and a trackway of either Roman or medieval to post medieval date (NHER 52227).
