Fields to the north, east and south-east of Mercer’s Farm, Nutfield

Programme of fieldwalking by S Ford of TVAS recovered a dense cluster of struck flint located on the terrace edge of a small stream valley. The cluster comprises a strong Mesolithic component, although later Neolithic/Bronze Age material is well represented. Flint in more modest quantities and pottery sherds of several periods were also recovered dispersed elsewhere across the areas fieldwalked. The pottery comprised medieval and post-medieval material with single sherds of Roman and possibly prehistoric date, and is interpreted as a by-product of the manuring process and not as being indicative of settlement sites.
