Abstract:		 There was a small amount of residual flintwork from the site spanning the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods, while the earliest pottery dates to between the mid 8th to mid 11th centuries; this is considered to be residual within a refuse pit. Residual Early medieval pottery was also identified with further Early medieval pottery within a property boundary ditch suggesting that the land was initially divided into two plots at this time, perhaps for agriculture. In the High medieval period two buildings were constructed on the plots fronting onto Rye Road, with the land to the rear of the northern property being further divided into smaller units. There is a large refuse pits associated with the northern property, and to a much lesser degree in the southern plot also. Some of these contained waster pottery suggesting a close association with the known pottery production site to the north of the site. The site went into sudden decline in the Later medieval period representing the abandonment of the site and robbing of the buildings to reuse building materials. Early Post medieval activities are also largely absent with an apparent hiatus of activity between 1550 and 1750 indicating continued abandonment of the site during which time a small amount of colluvium was deposited at the rear of the properties. During the Late Post medieval period there is little in the way of datable finds although a few potsherds may suggest manuring of the land for arable cultivation.
