Description

55 sherds of pottery were recovered during field-walking. The concentrations of medieval pottery focused on the house platforms in the north of the field (Lamport DMV). There was visible evidence of ridge and farrow and strip farming, and the low-density pottery finds across the field correspond with this kind of usage. The presence of Romano-British wares suggest cultivation during this earlier period (1).
