Summary
Fieldwalking as part of the Fenland Survey recovered a general scatter of prehistoric worked flints, pieces of medieval pottery and a few fragments of Roman pottery. A concentration of a small number of pieces of medieval pottery, a prehistoric flint scraper and one Iron Age fragment of pottery was recorded. Metal-detecting in 2011 and 2012 recovered medieval and post-medieval coins; a medieval jetton and 'peasant' finger ring and a post-medieval coin weight.
