Full Description
Pottery: 169 sherds collected; 2 Romano-British, 1 Early Medieval, 9 Medieval, 6 Late Medieval/Early Post/Medieval, 63 Post Medieval, 82 Early Modern+, 6 undiagnostic.
Ceramic Building Material: 147 fragments were collected, of these 58% of the material was coded as RTMISC meaning that no diagnostic dating could be made. 1 Roman roof tegula and 2 Roman roof tiles were identified (imbrex or tegula) and 1 possible Roman brick fragment were identified. There was a large scatter of modern brick in the SE corner of the field that was recorded but not collected. This may be from drainage work or a demolished outbuilding.

Glass: 13 fragments of glass were collected. The fragments are early
modern/modern in date, with green glass sherds from bottles predominating.
