Features were concentrated within Areas 1 and 2, in the eastern extent of the site, whilst Areas 3 and 4 were void of any archaeological signature. Whilst the precise character of the material remains uncertain, it may be associated with the iron working site at Sadlers End approximately 900 m from the site. A possible pond was also located, containing a soil sequence suggesting natural silting [...]
