But again there were significant quantities of medieval pottery. Potterspury Ware is the most frequent, numbering 31 sherds, sandy coarseware next best represented with 18 sherds, with only three sherds of shelly coarsewares. Uniquely, however, the deposits also contained five sherds of Oxford Ware, perhaps indicating that settlement here began in the late eleventh century.
