Anglo-Saxon loomweights found on a building site led to limited excavation which revealed a number of pits containing domestic rubbish of late Anglo Saxon and Med date. The amount of pottery recovered indicates a settlement in the immediate vicinity, but it was impossible to locate any buildings. The site produced sherds of Torksey pottery. (1)
The excavation was carried out by Miss Hazel Wheeler of TVARC who indicated the rescue excavation site at above grid ref. The loomweights are in NWM. (2)
