Mr Stuart Robinson indicated on the ground the area, centred at SE 6550 0250, from which pottery has been recovered. A quantity of sherds, all coarse grey ware, was recovered during a perambulation
of the site.
Mr Robinson also indicated two areas at SE 6470 0173 and SE 6518

collected. (3)
Excavation of this site in 1961 uncovered the remains of two kilns and part of another. Over 500 vessels of ten types represented in the finds; large wide-mouthed bowls were the most frequent. A date of c.300-375 is suggested for the period of manufacture. (4)
