Description
Evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on land to rear of The Rectory, and east of St Marys Church, Main Road of the area proposed as an extension to the graveyard for St Marys Church revealed a single pit which did not contain any finds and whose irregular base suggests an origin as a tree root hole. A metal detector search and visual scan of the upcast spoil recovered one small pottery sherd of probable Roman date and metal finds of 19th century or later date.
