Description

This TP produced more medieval pottery than many other Tps in the village, despite the distance from the road. A small ditch weas found in the TP which may have had its origins as a medieval boundary marker (a prominent earthwork continuing its line can be seen in the adjacent field), but modern material contained within its fills suggest that it has been subject to modern clearance (B1).
