Description

{4} Part of a Roman settlement, dating from the early 2nd to 3rd centuries AD, was excavated within the road corridor. Features comprised mainly ditches with few other features, but included two pottery kilns dating to the 2nd century AD. These appear to have been used to make bowls and jars in a sandy grog-tempered fabric.
