One possible Roman artefact (lead weight) and four potential Medieval artefacts were found (an annular buckle, a buckle/broach pin, a decorated lead fragment and a barrel weight. The remaining artefacts were Post Medieval or Modern and were the result of casual loss or related to land use, such as bridal parts associated with horse riding.
