Summary
Fieldwalking in 1993 recovered prehistoric flints, Iron Age to post-medieval pottery sherds, medieval roof tile and a fragment of a lava quern. Sporadic metal-detecting between 2010 and 2017 recovered prehistoric worked flints, including a Bronze Age flint piercer; medieval pottery sherds; Roman, medieval and post-medieval coins; medieval and post-medieval jettons and Roman and medieval to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include a Roman Dolphin brooch and military harness fitting; medieval to post-medieval dress accessories; a medieval coin weight, unusual harness fitting, casket key, mount, and lead pot mend; medieval/post-medieval vessel fragments and post-medieval lead weight and crotal bell.
The medieval pottery sherds were found in a concentration to the east of the field, suggesting that this was the site of a small medieval settlement on the edge of a small green shown on an estate map of 1629.
