Description

April-May 2007. Archaeological excavation. Eleven sherds of Middle to Late Saxon pottery (Ipswich-type and Thetford-type wares, and an unattributed Late Saxon sherd) were recovered. This small quantity of residual Saxon material is perhaps surprising, given the short distance of the site from the Saxon settlement. <1>
