Mills, A., 1996, Pill Farm or Portmore? (Personal Comment). SDV79502.
Trenching by NDRAU reportedly found Early medieval pottery at Pill Farm. This site may be confused with Portmore Farm (See PRN 38912) but locals clear that pottery found at Pill.

There appears to be confusion over the sites of trenches dug by NDRAU at Pill Farm, Little Pill and/or Portmore Farm in the 1980s. Possibly ND10 was at Little Pill in 1986 (although the NGR given is wrong) and ND19 at Portmore in 1987 (the NGR is for Portmore but it is listed as Pill Farm).
