Summary
In around 1986 a Neolithic flaked flint axehead was found in a potato harvester at this location. Subsequent fieldwalking and metal-detecting between 2001 and 2007 recovered prehistoric worked flints; Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds; a fragment of post-medieval ceramic building material; undatable metal-working debris; Roman and post-medieval coins and a number of other metal objects. These metal finds include a medieval/post-medieval copper alloy vessel fragment and strap fitting; a post-medieval buckle, lead cloth seal and various undatable copper alloy and lead objects.
