<strong>The</strong> focus <strong>of</strong> the early medieval settlement was in the disturbed western half <strong>of</strong> the site and it<br />

was from this area that the bulk <strong>of</strong> the finds were recovered (e.g. stone spindle-whorls, a<br />

loom weight, hones, hammer-stone, rotary grinding stone, strike-a-light, an amber bead,<br />

dumb-bell rock-crystal bead, quartz toggle, fragment <strong>of</strong> iron knife and a key for a barrelpadlock).<br />

<strong>The</strong> other early medieval finds (e.g. a bone toggle, cylindrical bone/horn object,<br />

yellow herringbone glass bead, stone gaming pieces, small bronze ring, socketed iron<br />

spearhead, iron gouge, iron needle, iron ring and miscellaneous iron artefacts) were found<br />

across the site.<br />

(No plans available for this site).<br />
