Site 9 - Crackley Landscape
The landscape in this area is a product of successive ages of human activity. Mesolithic worked flints (the microliths of early hunter-gatherers) as well as potsherds from Saxon and Roman times, have been found on the higher terraces; whilst the bottom of the valley, which is filled with alluvium from the silting up of the medieval dams and lakes, produces only material from the medieval period and later.
