The Track-Way - Day 4...

[CRUSADER]

Solo hunt of 6 hours & still a small area left to finish!

But today was the first time the clues added up & made sense. Spanning each side of the Roman Track-way is another large Early Saxon settlement - AD450-600. It forms a triangle of 3 Sites from this very rare period to discover. 2 migration period Settlements of roughly 100-200 people follow different Roman Track-ways to the 3rd area on 'The Hill' Site. This smaller area, is either another settlement or the burial area. Not sure yet. If this were Time-Team it would be a major discovery.

Anyone know what the brass fire hose looking thing is? Maybe part of a plane?

Funny how people have followed an ebb & flow pattern on this landscape;
Neolithic - Present
Bronze Age - Industrial Metal Working Site
Iron Age - None
Roman - 2 small Farms
Early Saxon (AD450-600) - Present
Middle Saxon - Nearly disappeared, probably not living but pass through (Track-way)
Late Saxon - probably not living but pass through
Viking - probably not living but pass through
Medieval - probably not living but pass through
Georgian - Built a farm house
Today - No farm house & no-one living there.

You have some really unusual items. Great to see them.

The fitting may have been a torch for back burning or a chemical sprayer ....
maybe late 1899ish -1920s is my best guess , but neat finds

Sorry about your Hammered loss today. Congrats on what you did find, and thanks for the photos!

Great write up Cru. Life is brief when you look at how many ages of man lived on the one piece of dirt.

 

[ticndig]

your unknown item looks like a foot valve that would go on the end of the well pipe .

Congratulations yet again. Yes , it is amazing how many different people have passed through the area over the ages. Kind of illustrates the insignificance of each of us as individuals.

The date is about what I guessed with Dad, I'm thinking about 100 years old.

Hi welcome to Tnet.

Do you have any links to such similar objects?

That puzzles together now. You cant get that much information out of a field without many hrs using your eyes and a metal detector. Great work you do there!
