Features indicative of Anglo Saxon settlement were identified to the N of Glebe Farm within Trench 12 and less certainly Trench 04. A sub rectangular pit, 14 sherds of Saxon pottery, worked stone (a possible whetstone) and a shale spindle whorl, in addition to four small scraps of very abraded RB pottery. This assemblage is typical of the Anglo-Saxon (particularly middle Saxon) period. Whilst the identification of the pit 0097 as a Grubenhaus remains uncertain given the partial excavation, there is no doubt that it is a strong indication of Anglo Saxon settlement in the immediate vicinity.
