Abstract: |
Field-walking on the site of a proposed new mineral extraction area revealed a light scatter of prehistoric flints in the centre of the main southern area of proposed extraction's. The flints included a number of tool types of the early Neolithic to Bronze Age. No evidence of the adjacent Saxon cemetery was discovered, though a single undiagnostic pottery sherd from the western periphery of the main southern land parcel may have dated from the Saxon period. Much post-medieval tile was recovered from the site, evenly distributed and probably derived from manuring of the site, rather than clusters suggestive of the presence of substantial structures such as barns.
