Record Details

NHER Number:41077
Type of record:Find Spot
Name:Multi-period finds

Summary

In 2002 a fieldwalking and metal-detecting survey along the route of a new sewerage pipeline recovered medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds. A subsequent geophysical survey of this section of the pipeline route identified no potentially archaeologically significant anomalies. Metal-detecting between 2004 and 2013 recovered Roman, medieval and post-medieval coins; post-medieval jettons; medieval and post-medieval tokens and Bronze Age and Roman to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include a Late Bronze Age socketed axe fragment; a Roman brooch and nail cleaner; a large number of Saxon metal objects; medieval to post-medieval dress accessories; a medieval annular brooch, lead alloy rumbler bell and a horse-harness stud with some red enamel surviving; a medieval/post-medieval coin weight and a post-medieval book clasp, harness mount, lead cloth seal and coin weight.
