DIG DETAILS
We have gained permission to search a new farm, close to a farm we have visited on a couple of previous occasions, the farm has around 600-700 acres of detectable land throughout the year.
After speaking with the farmer he is allowing us on a large block of land close to Sawtry Abbey Earthworks and a Norman Motte and Bailey castle, these 2 monuments are not on the land but are close by.
On researching the farm, there is huge amounts of flint tools and implements coming from adjacent fields, and some find spots are actually on the fields we are able to search, there has also been barbed and tanged spear heads, socketed axe heads, and a bronze age dagger from the land according to various websites we use for research our CS sites.
Those with internet access only need to look at the Digital Documents, or English Heritage web sites to see the amount of finds from adjacent farms to the one we search. We would like to think this new farm will follow, but having not detected on it before it will all be found out on the day.
There is 1 field close by the parking, however you have to walk across a pasture set aside field to get to some of the others, just a warning that we are not parked right on top of the fields.
CS Members can log on to the web site for more details, non members wishing to attend please email us at centralsearchers@ntlworld.com
