Abstract:		 A systematic metal detecter survey was carried out across and in the immediate environs of a Late Iron Age/Romano-British settlement covering approximately 19 hectares. Twenty nine coins of Roman date were recovered together with a range of late medieval to modern metalwork. The Roman coins dated mainly from the third to fourth centuries AD although at least one of first/second century date was also found. Their distribution confirmed the location of the settlement found during prior archaeological evaluation. The relatively small assemblage suggested that the site was native British in character and of low social and economic status. The great mass of metal work (495 objects), dated from the late medieval to modern period and appeared to relate to casual loss and dumping. No contemporary settlement was suggested. The range of items included buttons and buckes, lead cloth seals, coins and trading tokens, thimbles and spindle whorls. [Au(adp)]
