This test-pit produced a large number of sherds, and a wide range of fabric types. The earliest pottery, Stamford ware, may date to before the Norman Conquest, and there was certainly people living at the site in the 12th and 13th centuries. The site then appears to have been abandoned until the end of the medieval period, after which it was re-settled, and people have been living here ever since. All the medieval pottery is mixed in with later material and it appears that the site was heavily dug over in the 16th or 17th century.
