Notes about this historic site

1 1965: One sherd of ‘Saxon’ pottery was discovered after the site was cleared down to bedrock. A 0.9m layer of dark grey clay, not from the immediate locality, was exposed, and below this in two post holes (?) were found about forty sherds of rough gritted hand-made pottery which made up five incomplete ‘Saxon’ pots.
2 The pottery is actually Neolithic not Saxon!
