Bronze Age funerary urns from the 10th century BCE were found in Green Lane. A prehistoric burial mound called Cloven Barrow survives as a scheduled monument and is mentioned in an Anglo-Saxon charter of around AD 962. Charters of that period record the place as Sunnanbyrg and Sunnanbyrig, a name meaning Sunna's fortification. The Domesday Book of 1086 gives the name as Sunneberie and lists seven hides, five ploughs, meadow sufficient for six ploughs, cattle pasture and about 22 households including one priest.
