The group field-walked two fields at Kings
Caple on Sunday 13th November. These fields
are 1 kilometre north-east of
Red Rail
Ford and very near the line of the old road from
the ford, through Kings Caple to How Caple.
Considerable quantities of archaeological material was
recovered. This included post-medieval, medieval and
Romano British pottery.
Earlier
material included a neolithic/early bronze age scraper and
a late mesolithic blade core.
