The monitoring of groundworks during a house extension revealed a complex of archaeological features at the east end of the site, associated with a furnace of unknown function. Linear features thought to be contemporary with the structure were identified. Ceramics and a worked bone pin beater suggest that the activity was focused in the Saxo-Norman period.

Other finds include ;

1 x Sherd Thetford type ware
2 x Lincoln type shelly ware


Both dating to 10th 11th century.
