Full Description
{1} Area of dense slag with roasted ore, dross, large pieces of runs etc. Sherds of decorated samian and plain colour-coated red Peterborough tile etc. A small area presumably related to it at SP93479287. Presumably accounts for RCHM reference to sherd nearby.
{2} SP 937 933. Roman pottery and iron slag found. No further details.
{3} This site may be part of a large area of Roman occupation and iron working to the N. in Bulwick (SP 99 SW 3,
SP 99 SW 9, SP 99 SW 10). A small bronze figure of Minerva found in Deene parish (SP 99 SW 4) may possibly be from this site).
