From NHRE:
(TL 708433). Terra sigilata, (dated to circa
100-200 AD), found in 1929 and more Roman pottery, (dated to
circa 60 or 70-200 AD) found 1936, in Roman rubbish pits at
Wixoe. (R1)

During field investigation a large scatter of Roman bricks,
tiles, mortar, flint and a few fragments of Samian ware were
found at TL 70944314 apparently indicating the site of a
sizeable Roman building. A small excavation at TL 70944312
revealed traces of flint and mortar foundations at a depth of
18 inches. A number of rubbish pits, containing numerous sherds
of Romano-British pottery, a few Samian fragments, two iron
nails, a knife, animal bones and oyster shells, were found in the
north and northeast face of a gravel pit at TL 70854330. (S4)

Levelling and filling of a depression at TL 708433 exposed roof
and flue tiles, tesserae, window glass and wall plaster suggesting
a villa site. Other finds included coins (mostly 1st-2nd century),
a late 1st century bronze brooch, pottery (including Samian),
bone pins, nails, iron knives and iron and slag. (R5)
