Summary
Fieldwalking and metal detecting along the line of the B1160 re-alignment in 1994 recovered prehistoric worked flints, building materials and sherds of medieval, post medieval, Late Saxon, prehistoric and Middle Saxon pottery. Subsequent topsoil stripping revealed two small possible pits and a concentration of slag near to an area of Iron Age features (see NHER 30568).
