Summary
A small number of Mesolithic/Neolithic and Neolithic worked flints were found during limited fieldwalking undertaken in 1989. Metal detecting between 1997 and 2008 recovered a number of coins and metal objects from the Roman, Middle Saxon, medieval and post medieval periods. This includes a Middle Saxon coin and a medieval seal matrix. Further metal-detecting in 2010 recovered a medieval or post-medieval vessel fragment and post-medieval buckle frame.
