Full description

Sections of two fields lying within the scheduled area of Old Winteringham were fieldwalked in early 1982. A 5m grid was laid out, and the fields were walked intensively. After 3 months of surface weathering, surface finds were highly visible.

The main area walked, designated 'FW', measured 105m x 115m, centred to SE94812145. The cropmark of a double-ditched road, on a NE-SW alignment, was known to pass through this area. 2,147 sherds of Romano-British pottery were collected. A dot-density plan was later drawn that showed the distribution of pottery. It indicated a strong concentration in area SE94782147 that might indicate a building. Much brick & tile and some iron slag was also collected, although there is no indication in the archive as to the date of this material,

A smaller area, designated 'DW', was laid out next to the north-eastern corner of 'FW'. It measured 50m x 35m, and was meant to follow the concentration of pottery associated with the road alignment. This was only partially successful, as fieldwalking was abandoned after the field was seeded. 206 sherds of Romano-British pottery were collected here. [1, 2]
