Monument record MLI83606 - Late Saxon deposits north of The Beck
Summary
Late Saxon deposits north of The Beck
Type and Period (1)
- ARTEFACT SCATTER (Early Medieval/Dark Age to Medieval - 870 AD to 1150 AD?)
Protected Status/Designation
- None recorded
Full Description
PRN 62599
Late Saxon pottery and a fragment of quern/millstone reused as a grinder or hone were recovered during an auger survey in 1998. The pottery may derive form Hanbeck deserted medieval village (see PRN 62736); if so, this would suggest an earlier date for the settlement than was known previously. Charred processed cereal grain and a fragment of quern/millstone from the same deposit suggest grain processing took place in the vicinity; the quantity of grain suggests storage close by. These deposits may be associated with a mill mentioned in the Domesday entry for Wilsford.{1}{2}
