IA (?) flint gritted pottery sherds found at Waterloo Plantation in area of Saxon cemetery by Basil Brown in 1955. He visited site in June 1955, when he noted that at the NE end of the plantation, the trees had been removed and the area given over to arable farming. The trees had been thrown into old gravel pit workings in an effort to level the ground surface and, after gaining the owner's permission, he removed the trees from one pit and investigated the pit face, where he found the sherds now in the archive. He thought this pottery was Neolithic A and it is possible that it is. Many flints were found in the vicinity (S1).
