Full Description

{2} A complex of minor ditches was interprested as boundary ditches of an area to the south. Two phases were identified but it is possible others may have existed but been obliterated by later recutting. It was assumed that the ditches were land dicisions of the area to the south of the enclosure, and postdated it. The pottery recovered was of Romano-British date.

{3} Group 15 was a ditch system which marked the northern limit of the Romano-British settlement.
