A quantity of C2-C3 pottery (some from the kiln at Little London Torksey) has been found at a depth of 2ft over an area some 50yds square, in a gravel pit at Misson. Also found were a mortarium with hammerhead rim, a calcitic stone jar and an iron sword. (1)
Doncaster Museum ... hold none of the pottery. Find spot has been deep quarried, now reclaimed. Oswald is now dead. (4)
Grid ref slightly amended, to site of "Old Sand Pit", 1902. The quarry was probably backfilled in the early 1970s during the construction of Newington Farm which truncated much of Hagg Hill. In 1997 it was largely overbuilt by extensions to a factory. (5)
See L 5569 for human bones.
NB OS card locates this find at SK 6803 9520 (which is incorrect - see L9613), so (4) may have visited that NGR instead.
