The most notable archaeological find in Wold Newton was an Anglo-Saxon burial urn excavated in Swinhope Walk in 1828; see the Urns page. It having been ploughed out long ago, the exact location of the excavated barrow in Swinhope Walk was a mystery, until an aerial survey by Contour Geophysics during the 2018 summer drought. More modest finds, field archaeology and crop marks evidence human settlement over several millennia. Here's a couple of photos of a pottery shard (medieval?) found in the lower section of Cow Walk field, along the line of the former track into the East (open) Field  If you've found anything interesting while out walking around the parish, please contact us and send a photograph. |
