Description
The area was fieldwalked at intervals between December 1991 and early February 1992. The conditions for observation of surface finds were good with the exception of two grassed areas. Generally the fieldwalking yielded widely dispersed small fragments of brick and tile, with occasional sherds of post-medieval and modern pottery. Lumps of hardcore and concrete were common in the region of the stripped airfield service roads and their twenty five linked bays. Sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the western part of the survey ara, with an increased incidence in the fields adjoining the western boundary of the existing pit. There were not enough sherds to identify a specific occupation site.
