The site is approximately 6ha and comprises a single field that had been re-ploughed specifically to accommodate the fieldwalking programme. It is situated c. 1km to the east of Farndon, and immediately south of the River Devon. The survey area is bound by Hawton Lane to the southwest, arable fields to the north- and southeast, and paddocks and pasture to the northwest. The collection area was laid out in transects spaced at 5m intervals. The transects were walked by members of the fieldwalking team, with flint and other significant artefacts searched for, and marked, for a distance of up to 2.5m to each side of the centre line of each transect (thus ensuring 100% coverage of the survey area). A small number of late Palaeolithic/Mesolithic blades; Mesolithic cores; and Mesolithic bladelets were recovered although the numbers were not insufficient to suggest a concentration or in situ scatter. A low level of artefactual material dating to the Iron Age, Roman and medieval periods was recovered across the survey area. This material exhibited no significant distribution, representing a ‘background noise’ of artefacts resulting from prolonged agricultural use of the landscape.
