Ceramic Building Material: 130 fragments were collected. 46% of the material was coded as RTMISC meaning that no diagnostic dating could be made. 1 Roman tegula fragment was recorded, 3 glazed roof tiles (either peg, nib or ridge) are of medieval/early post-medieval date. The remaining fragments were early modern/modern pantile, brick and field drain fragments.

Clay Tobacco Pipe: 61 fragments were found. The majority were fragments of stem, but two of the bowls indicate late 17th century manufacture.

Flint: 3 flints showing human tool making and 1 fire-cracked pebble were recovered.

Glass: 18 fragments of glass were collected. 16 sherds are modern in date, with the 2 remaining fragments likely dating to the 18th century.
