Full Description
This is a small mixed assemblage mainly representative of medieval to postmedieval pottery types typically found in the local area. The small numbers of sherds suggest that most of the material probably arrived on the field as a result of manuring. Field 1, however, produced eight handmade sherds that are of probable 5th to 7th century date (in addition to one from Field 2). The manufacture and surface treatment of these sherds is fairly typical of Anglo-Saxon production, although the fabrics cannot be closely compared to others recovered from the region.
A total of 24 sherds of Roman pottery was retrieved. The sherds were catalogued by fabric and form and given a date range. The condition of the pottery is moderate, with surface abrasion visible on some sherds.
2 Pieces of burnt, unworked flint were recovered from the North-West corner of the field and a flint core was receovered 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 the report states is probably Neolithic in date.
