Flints.
Ipswich ware and medieval sherds.
E. Rose (NAU) 20 July 1988
(S1) records this medieval concentration as Site 31. Medieval documentary references to people with the name 'de Glosbrigg' in the area around Home Lane suggest that there was a medieval manorial site or small settlement in this area. From the pottery evidence activity seems to have ceased by the late medieval period.
See (S1) for more details.
