Description
Driving rain on the survey day may have effected pottery finds, but nevertheless 33 sherds of Romano-British and medieval wares were recovered. The field is the focus for the meeting of four paths close to an artifical depression which may possibly be a dew pond or gravel quarry. A building marked on an earlier maps in the south of the field could identified be during fieldwalking. The Romano-British finds concentrated in the SW corner and suggest a settlement site in adjoining fields currently under pasture. The medieval finds were dominated by Potterspury ware and suggest that the field was part of Leckhampstead's open field system (B1).
