Find Spot record 0516000001 - COLEMAN'S WOOD, LITTLE MISSENDEN

On top of enclosure bank in SE corner is an area of large flints, and amidst this a small area of iron slag (B2).
Iron slag fragments reported by John Morris in 2007 (B5).

Minor excavation of the topsoil area within the enclosure has found pottery fragments, one from the end of the 15th century, and another potentially older. A hearth was found in one corner showing clear evidence of iron working. We carried out surface excavation work on the site two years ago and discovered pottery fragments. These were sent to the Buckinghamshire County Museum for identification. We received a letter back from Brett Thorn dated 24th May 2004 - entry form number 3425. 'Fragment A: 16th/17th century bowl with brown glaze; B: 15th century bowl with glaze; C: Possible 11th - 16th century pot rim (too small to date more precisely). The conclusion is that, at the very least, the site was occupied in the 15th century.' (B7).
