Crop/soilmark: Good quality photography SMR note 04/09/2012: find catalogue from 1969 excavation report not entered onto SMR

{1} The building 5.3 wide internally and at least 14m long, was built of limestone set in brown gravelly mortar survived in a few places above trench set foundations. A patch of hard packed rubble with a worn surface outside the SE wall may have formed the approach to a doorway, connected with post hole inside the building.
A possible doorway nearly opposite in the NW wall was indicated by a slight thickening of the wall and internal post hole. Finds indicate the building was likely to have been some form of workplace. Pottery dates to the 4th century.
