Description

1995. Systematic fieldwalking. A concentration of worked flint was found along with the Roman material at this location. Some of the flintwork is of good quality and points to Neolithic/ Bronze Age activity, but the relatively light spread points to the centre of occupation being elsewhere. <1> For further details of Bronze Age features excavated at this location see EHER 18503.
