Full Description

2018: Sixty-five evaluation trenches revealed three areas of concentrated archaeology, consisting of ditches and pits. These were situated around previously noted prehistoric cropmarks, undated cropmarks and northernmost field and dated from the early Bronze Age to late Iron Age. Additionally, a rectangular linear identified in previous geophysical survey was confirmed as a probable Bronze Age to Iron Age settlement. Finds comprised pottery ranging from the late Neolithic to early Saxon period, CBM, animal bone, clay pipe, metalwork, a hammerstone fragment, two early Neolithic scrapers, one late Neolithic to early Bronze age side scraper, and flint debitage/unworked flakes which date from the late Mesolithic to Bronze Age (S1).
