A section of ancient road was found in the same meadow (S1)(S3). `Small quantity of finds' (S1)(S3). `Bones of men and horses in great abundance have been found for many years, amid a black vein of dark unctuous mould; the relics of this ancient warfare lie in heaps four or five feet below the surface and are circumscribed, as if collected in shallow pits. Bones of horses and men broken and entire are intermingled with spurs, bits of sword-blades, 2 or 3 inches broad; pieces of the heads of spears; scraps of armour; horses shoes of great breadth, and made to cover nearly the whole hoof; nails and rivets...'. Further details in (S4).

Need to chech sources for location as on AP's and LIDAR the only evidence of gravel extraction are on the field to the north of the meadow.
