‘FINDS FROM THE IRON AGE AND ROMAN ENCLOSURE NORTH OF MINCHINGTON FARM, SIXPENNY HANDLEY.
Examination of the ploughed southern perimeter of this circular enclosure half a mile north-north-east of Farnham (ST 961159: RCHM Dorset Vol. V East (1975) p. 69, mon. 24) produced one body sherd in brownish-grey sandy fabric with frequent calcined flint filler, presumably Bronze Age or early Iron Age, and one rim sherd of a Black-burnished ware (BB1) flanged rim dish of the 2nd century AD.’
