Full Description
PRN 23966
A north/south aligned ditch uncovered during excavations at the Springfield Outlet development contained a single sherd of late Saxon pottery. Further 11th century sherds were recovered elsewhere on the site. However, these finds seem unlikely to have been in situ. Environmental evidence suggests that the site was in use as pasture, newly reclaimed from the marshland, during this period. {1}{2}
