This looks to be a great site! The farm is mentioned in the Domes Day Book and records show that a 15th century house existed on the site up to some time in the 1960's when it was replaced by a modern building. If you take a look at the OS map you will see that the line of the Roman Road passes through Kirkham. In addition, close to the site are some stunning examples of ancient field systems (mediaeval?).
The farmer recalls that his brother when ploughing one field regularly turned up coins. Some of the fields on the farm were ploughed and re-seeded last year. The farmer assures us that detecting has not been allowed on the farm in the past. All in all the signs are that the site has good potential - but as usual there are no guarantees as to finds.
