Full Description

{1} A shallow ditch was seen in trench B. A small amount of early Roman pottery was found both in the ditch and unstratified in the spoil heaps. In the trench a layer of small stones separated the topsoil from a layer of silty loam overlying the Roman ditch. The loam, which was undated, may represent later Roman ploughing.
