These excavations recorded two phases of Prehistory: there was a sequence of occupation activity in the middle and late Neolithic with buildings and finds-rich deposits containing pottery and flint waste important for the stratigraphical relationships discovered; in the later Iron Age and Romano-British time there is evidence of land boundaries, a rural farming settlement, crop-driers, fence-lines, droveways, abandoned by the mid-third century AD. Finds of 8/9th century Ipswich ware show further late Saxon activity.
