Full Description
{1} A number of ditches, mostly aligned north-west to south-east or north-east to south-west were found, which may be the remains of a series of enclosures or field boundaries. A number of pits included a group of possible small quarry pits. Occasional postholes were also identified.
The relatively small finds assemblage recovered, including a small amount of imported pottery and three lead artefacts, indicates that there was Roman activity of moderately high status within the area, although these remains are likely to be on the periphery.
