Excavations at Flemington have revealed a broad variety <strong>of</strong> differently sized and shaped ditches that<br />

were re-cut and modified across generations. This early medieval community was clearly concerned<br />

with maintaining an organised and managed landscape. <strong>The</strong> identification <strong>of</strong> cereal processing and<br />

ironworking testifies to further peripheral settlement activity in which dangerous activities such as<br />

drying corn and smelting or smithing iron was undertaken in places removed from the settlement. It<br />

is likely that the main settlement focus lies outside the excavated area and perhaps to the north.<br />
