Summary
During the examination of weathered upcast from dredging of the River Stour revealed a relatively dense multi-period scatter of finds. Amongst these finds was a large quantity of pottery and some flint tools. The long chronological range of these finds is seen as evidence of the local importance of the location as a fording point across the Stour.

Examination of the weathered upcast from the dredging of the River Stour revealed a relatively dense multi-period scatter of finds, mostly pottery and some flint tools. The chronological range of finds suggests local importance as a fording point across the Stour. Preliminary assessment indicates that during the LNEO-EBA and LBA/EIA transitions and from AD 1175-1225, actual occupation at or close to this crossing was continuous/semi continuous. (1)
