Abstract: |
<summary>A programme of fieldwalking and metal-detecting was carried out between November 1991 and May 1992, as part of the initial assessment of the proposed road improvement scheme. Apart from the known Romano-British town, no large archaeological sites were found to be affected by the proposed road. A number of new sites were revealed in Farnham parish: two scatters of medieval pottery, one fronting on to the lane between the village and Langham Bridge, the other to the east of Molletts Farm, both 13th-15th century in date (a bronze seal matrix with a crowned "T" was metal-detected on the first site); and three [?four] lithic scatters, Mesolithic to Early Bronze Age in date. {italon}AIP & Sec(adp)(17c){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} FNM004 - 008; HCH001; GLL003, 005, 006 |
