Full Description
SY54369269. Late Bronze Age, early Iron Age and Medieval sherds, all unabraided, indicate deposition within the vicinity of Nallers Farm. The Medieval pottery suggests a Medieval foundation for Nallers Farm. A Post-Medieval building on the same alignment as the modern farm suggests either that the settlement was larger than at present, or extensive replanning of the farmstead, probably in the C18th. All finds were recovered during excavation of a new car park. <1>
