Description
1993. Metal detecting.
The opportunity was taken to record the finds from the metal detecting weekend arranged by the church fund-raising committee. Although about 50 of the metal detectorists reported a total of some 150 finds, it was estimated that only about 25% of the objects were recorded. The fields searched included those named in the Tithe Award of 1839-41 as Shillingstone, Home Field, Horse Croft, Long Croft and Middle Shot. Finds represented periods from the Iron Age to the post-medieval. Some Iron Age pottery sherds were recovered. <1> <2>
