From the first field:

Prehistoric:

- Two pieces of burnt, unworked flint were recovered from the north-west corner of the field and a flint core was recovered from close to the former field boundary at its southern edge. The core is a multi-platform type, used to produce flakes and possibly blades, and is probably Neolithic in date.

Roman:

-Twenty sherds of Roman pottery were recovered from the surface of the field, with most of the sherds coming from the western side of the field, in the area where
geophysical survey had indicted the presence of settlement remains. The pottery assemblage comprises sherds of locally and regionally-made wares, with a date range between the 1st and 4th centuries AD.

- A small quantity of slag (256g) was recovered from the north-west corner of the field. Although the slag is not dateable without scientific analysis, its presence in this area, in association with Roman and Anglo-Saxon pottery, suggests that ironworking may have been carried out at the settlement identified by the geophysical survey. A small piece of slag (15g) was also recovered from the southern part of the field.

Anglo-Saxon:

- Seven sherds of handmade Anglo-Saxon pottery were recovered from the north-west corner of the field and one sherd was collected from the eastern half of the field. The distribution roughly corresponds with that of the Roman pottery, with a concentration around the settlement remains shown on the geophysical survey plot. The sherds, which generally come from jars and bowls, date to the 5th to 7th centuries AD.

Medieval to early post-medieval:

- Eight sherds of medieval to early post-medieval pottery, predominately from jars and jugs, were collected from the surface of the field. They are in locally produced fabrics
that date between the 13th and 16th centuries and they were randomly distributed over the field, suggesting that they had been introduced to the site through manuring.

Post-medieval to modern:

- Sixteen sherds of post-medieval to modern pottery from a variety of vessel types were collected from the surface of the field. They are in locally and regionally produced fabrics that date between the 16th and 18th centuries and they were randomly distributed over the field, suggesting that they had been introduced to the site through manuring.

- A quantity of late post-medieval and modern ceramic brick, tile and drain fragments was recovered in the eastern half of the field.


From the second field:

Roman:

- Four sherds of Romano-British pottery were recovered from the field. They are too few in number to establish any correlation with the enclosure or other anomalies shown on the geophysical survey plot of this field.

Anglo-Saxon:

- One sherd of Anglo-Saxon pottery was recovered from the north-west corner of the field.

Medieval to early Post-Medieval:

- Four sherds of medieval to early post-medieval pottery were recovered from the south-west part of the field. They are in locally produced fabrics that date between the 13th and 16th centuries and they were randomly distributed over the field, suggesting that they had been introduced to the site through manuring.

Post-Medieval to Modern:

- Fifteen sherds of post-medieval to modern pottery from a variety of vessel types were collected from the surface of the field. They are in locally and regionally produced fabrics that date between the 16th and 18th centuries and they were randomly distributed over the field, suggesting that they had been introduced to the site through manuring.

- A quantity of late post-medieval and modern ceramic brick and tile fragments was recovered in the eastern half of the field.

- An iron object, possibly the link from a modern chain, was recovered from the southern edge of the field.
