Description
July 2020. Archaeological excavation.
The excavation recorded small assemblage of 12 sherds of possible Early to Middle Anglo-Saxon pottery from a 15th-17th century quarry pit (see EHER 81322). The moderately abraded condition of these fragments and their discovery alongside a sherd of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery indicates they were not located near to their primary site of deposition. <1>
