Monument record 6893/0/8 - Probable Roman building

Stone foundations of a building aligned north to south and at least 2.40m long and 1.40m wide. Possible beaten clay floor

{2} Structure 2 was situated to the north of Structure 1, on a north-south alignment. It comprised two narrow parallel stone wall foundations, without mortar, two stones wide (0.30-0.50m wide) and one course high (0.10m). The foundations appear to be faced inside and outside. The structure did not join up with Structure 1, but the walls may have been robbed out at the south end. The surviving dimensions of the structure were approximately 2.40m long by 1.40m wide. To the north, the eastern wall turned to the east for 0.90m. The structure was filled by layer, hard dark grey clay loam with occasional limestone and ironstone blocks, and containing charcoal, flint, and pottery dated from the late 2nd to 4th centuries.
