Description
1996. Systematic fieldwalking.
Post-medieval finds recovered included concentrations of brick, tile and pottery which can be directly related to waste disposal. This may have taken the form of either dumps of building material by the field edge which have subsequently been drawn into the field, or as a component of domestic debris spread on the field during manuring. <1>
