Full Description

Two 'hut sites' were revealed, one definitely IA and the other, with hearth, described by Basil Brown as 'possibly Saxon". Ditches in area contained black earth, burnt stones, flints including a slug type flint, and pottery sherds. The pottery is described as brownish black and some has finger tipping ornamentation (S1,S2,S3,S4)(R1).
