Description
Fieldwalking 1998 and desk based assessment 1997
There was an overall low density of finds from the site.
A single sherd of 11th-12th century handmade cooking pot, six sherds of medieval pottery and two sherds of 15th-16th century pottery. Twenty-nine pieces of medieval/late medieval tile were found.
The finds are probably a result of agricultural practice rather than settlement.
A geophysical survey also failed to find evidence of significant archaeological anomalies.<1> <2>
