Full Description
{1} A number of pits were found, the finds from which indicated an early Roman date. Considering the small extent of the trenches, a high density of deposits was revealed. Allowing for the small size of the Roman assemblage, the imported finewares suggests a site of some wealth or status.
{2} The Roman pottery assemblage of over 100 sherds is of surprising quality.
