A strip and record excavation on land north of Felton in 2016-17 discovered a previously unknown unenclosed Anglo-Saxon settlement. It lies on the periphery of the modern village, about 500m north of the likely medieval core of Felton. It comprised a series of heavily truncated postholes, pits and several fragmentary gulleys concentrated in the central and eastern portion of the excavation site and is likely to extend further to the north and east, beyond the limits of the excavation. Groupings of postholes aligned on a mainly ENE-WSW axis indicate the presence of a number of buildings, all of them heavily truncated by medieval ridge and furrow cultivation; the degree of truncation prevented the identification of any complete building floorplans. Therefore, some features may belong to structures other than buildings, for example fencing or shelters. The postholes have been interpreted as post-built structures and 26 were identified. From these, some 15 buildings have been identified, at least eight of which may represent rectangular buildings commonly known as 'halls' which formed standard family dwellings. Three large pits are likely to represent Sunken Featured Buildings. Evidence of ironworking (smelting) and smithing was also found. Radiocarbon dating evidence estimates the settlement began cal AD580-765 (95% probability) during the end of the early/middle Anglo-Saxon period. However, the lack of stratigraphic and artefact evidence means detailed phasing is not possible. (1)
