Full Description

Large quantities of medieval and early post-medieval pottery were recovered in February 2016, during a programme of systematic field walking, conducted in the field to the north of the village known as Sutterby Hill Field. The assemblage was recovered from across the field, suggesting it resulted from manuring scatters of agricultural land, although a slight concentration in the northern half of the field was identified. The medieval pottery collection was overwhelmingly comprised of sherds from relatively locally produced Toynton ware vessels, although single sherds from Midlands Purple ware, Dutch Red Earthenware and Siegburg-type ware vessels were also present. The collection of post-medieval pottery was comprised of sherds from a much wider variety of vessel types and fabrics, with pieces of brown, black and red glazed earthenwares being well represented. {1}
