Monument record 150/2 - Site of Iron Age and Roman activity, Mill Lane

Archaeological evaluation identified a ditch containing a single sherd of Roman pottery as well as a small number of other undated features. Subsequent excavation identified a small number of ditches, possibly defining enclosures, and two curvilinear ditches as well as a number of pits. Small quantities of Iron Age and Roman pottery were recovered.

{1} Archaeological evaluation of the former Hawkins Salmon site identified a small number of undated features and a dated containing a single sherd of Roman pottery.

{2} Archaeological of three house plots prior to development identified a scatter of features associated with a very small assemblage of Iron Age and Roman pottery. Several ditches aligned north-east to south-west, two curvilinear ditches and several pits. One of the curvilinear ditches had a possible entrance; it may be a round house ring ditch or small enclosure. Only one feature, a pit appeared to date from the Iron Age, the remainder of the Iron Age pottery was residual in later features. A watching brief on further house plots to the north found no further contemporary features.
