Botanical and faunal remains from a third-fourth-century RB farm indicate a predominantly arable farming system. Agrarian innovation is evinced by exceptionally large cattle bones - possibly representing imported animals used as powerful tractors for the heavy clay soil. The farmhouse was a vernacular timber building exhibiting no particular signs of affluence. However, the biological evidence for economy, diet and lifestyle indicates that the occupants were affluent people with the resources to consume imported plant foods and preserved fish and to pursue recreations including hunting and hawking (or something very like it).

Excavations recovered an assemblage of animal bones dominated by horse from the vaulted cellars beneath the Great Hall. The deposit dates to c.1710 and appears to have been the result of the partial butchery of several aged horses. The possible interpretations are discussed and it is thought likely that the deposit represents the leftover waste of a knacker.

Discoveries of Triticum dicoccum (emmer wheat) on two Middle Saxon settlements point to the re-introduction of this crop to Britain after the end of the Roman period. Radiocarbon determinations on charred glumes confirm the dating of the remains.
