Full Description

Large amount of medieval pottery suggests heavy manuring in keeping with site in close proximity to a focus of settlement occupied between 1000 to 1300 AD. Two linear features may be drainage ditches or possibly field boundaries. Plentiful 16th to 17th century pottery suggest heavy cultivation. (1)
