HER 2926 - Neolithic Pit And Pot Sherd: Petters Sports Field

Excavations at Petters Sports Field in 1972, and between 1976-1977. Evidence for occupation in Bronze Age, Romano-British, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods. (HER 799, 2423, S2927, 2425 and 2426). Only one feature, a shallow pit, produced material datable to the Neolithic period and that consisted of only one sherd of pottery. Although it is possible that the pottery is residual from an earlier, unrelated context, in view of the amount of Neolithic material found in the vicinity, a Neolithic phase at Petters Sports Field is not an unreasonable proposition. Excavation by Spelthorne Archaeological Field Group in advance of redevelopment revealed a continuation of the site at Petters Sports Field. Prehistoric worked flints were found in a buried river channel.
