Find Spot record 0971300000 - Test pit at Willows Farm

No post-medieval intrusive material was recovered by excavation. The stratification appears to suggest medieval ploughland overlying earlier deposits. It is possible that the charcoal rich deposit (F1) was laid down in the Romano-British period. The recovery of two sherds of Iron Age pottery indicates activity in the late prehistoric period. The possibility that the location of the medieval furlongs, interlocking and meeting at this point, was dictated by an earlier feature or boundary is suggested by these findings. As such this may be the first time that this association has been recognised in the Whittlewood area (B1).
