Description

{1} The works identified a trackway and ditches dating from the late 1st century to early 2nd century AD, which were contemporary with enclosures recorded in previous works to the south. They went out of use in the early 2nd century, possibly as part of land reorganisation associated with the establishment of the Roman villa, which lies to the south. Remnant traces of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation were present in one area.
