Full Description

Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age struck flints were recovered from pits during evaluation, although some could be residual. Four features (ditches and pits) were tentatively dated to the medieval period and included a copper alloy composite strap end, c. AD 1270–1400. Medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds were fragmentary but of note was a sherd of a Saintonge polychrome jug, indicating an affluent household in the vicinity. The remaining wares were local Fenland and Bury-type coarsewares. Animal bones included domesticates as well as an accumulation of frog/toad bones which were likely associated with old ponds (S1).

Same site as MNL 715 but this evaluation had already been carried out by the time the code was requested. To avoid duplicate archive numbers under the same code PCA have been issued a different code.
