This test-produced a large assemblage of early/middle Saxon pottery, indicating that there was settlement here at that time. The site then appears to have been abandoned until the early medieval period, from which time it was used at a low level, until the present. The sherd of Prehistoric pottery shows that there was activity here in the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age. The lowest two contexts produced only early/middle Saxon or earlier pottery, showing that they are almost certainly undisturbed horizons of that date. They also appear to be overlain by 20 or 30cm or similarly undisturbed medieval soils.
