An early medieval settlement within a major multiperiod site on a south-facing slope overlooking the valley. Middle Saxon pottery types were recovered including Ipswich and Maxey wares. Other finds included an early Anglo-Saxon loomweight, iron objects, glass fragments, hones, 290 bones (including antler), 4 millstone querns, 12 lava querns, a possible pounding stone and 8 large lumps of slag.
