Description
2001. Fieldwalking (evaluation).
Post medieval pottery and tile was collected during fieldwalking. <1>
2007. Excavation.
Uncovered largely Iron Age settlement but also some possible medieval/post-medieval field ditches with a very small amount of post-medieval pottery, brick and tile and clay pipe. The remains of a ditched trackway which was probably in use during the 13th to 19th century ran north-south and probably linked Crown Lane with Wick Lane to the south and north. <2>
Monitoring of Quarry Stage 1D near Chilver’s Cottages at the south-eastern limit of the site dated two small cropmark enclosures to the post-medieval period detailed in EHER 80603. <3>
