Following the discovery of pottery and a metal item by the owner of Church Cottage during the digging of foundation trenches for an extension, GMVEU produced a short report on the artefacts recovered from the spoil. These included various waste deposits, eg fragments of leather shoes, and over a hundred sherds of medieval and post-medieval pottery. As the finds seemed to be concentrated in certain areas of spoil they could have come from a feature or features - perhaps a rubbish tip.
