humax# hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/sda

That is very reassuring for me. Thank you for replying so quickly.
Good to know, but having the lost+found allows e2fsck to mark the big partition as clean, so it was worth doing.
I haven't come across gfdisk before - I used fdisk because it is part of the busybox package. The gfdisk report...
