HER 1683 - 6th - 7th century Saxon huts, Farnham

Several Saxon sunken-floored huts (Grubenhaus), possibly 6th-7th century, found during gravel digging at Firgrove, Farnham in 1924. Only one was examined, and produced finds including a bronze clasp, annular clay loom weights, an iron knife-blade (typically Saxon), a cylindrical glass-bead and two undecorated pot-sherds. Since the discovery, the entire site has been destroyed by gravel works and the ground level lowered by 9-10ft.
