Full Description
An open area excavation along the east edge of the site confirmed the presence of a large ditch of Roman date, previously recorded in the evaluation. This produced a few sherds of very abraded pottery of 1st to 2nd century date and a charred seed-rich infill, suggesting the burning of cereal processing waste in the near vicinity. Silt deposits located along the south-east edge of the excavation contained worked flint and were sealed by colluvium (S1).
