Concerning sites F2 and F3 these are in an area which shows ancient features, includes ridge and furrow. The area is consistent with a landscape that was in use throughout much of the Iron Age period, perhaps between 600 BC and 100 BC. Ancient drove roads can be identified within local Parishes, such as the Hunscote Lane saltway, which has been renamed Knightcote Bottoms just off the M40 Junction. The old road then joins the Hambridge road another ancient roadway which can be followed from Burton Dassett to the River Itchen and Bishops Itchington. A possible river crossing point for generations and a high probability of archeology (as stated in a recent planning report).
