Abstract:		 Excavations were undertaken within an area of land that lay 150 metres south-west of a middle and late Anglo-Saxon settlement site excavated in 1947-48. The earliest excavated deposits probably formed part of a substantial sand bank containing water rolled Roman tile and pottery. The bank which developed in the post-Roman period was flanked to the west by a lagoon and to the south and east by the sea. From the eighth century onwards cultivation of the bar appeared to have taken place. Episodes of manuring with seaweed were indicated by concentrations of small sea shells. Two linear ditches were located which appeared to have been dug to divide cultivated plots. Cultural material recovered from topsoil deposits were in sufficient quantity to suggest that a settlement focus existed in the immediate vicinity. Occupation of the site appeared to have ceased in the early thirteenth century. [Au]
