Full Description
Excavation revealed three ditch like features. Two of these were clearly modern in date and were aligned with the existing boundaries. The third ditch contained a spread of charcoal associated with compact deposit of tile in the upper fill. This may have been the remains of a small oven built in the partially filled ditch, although it is more likely to be a material dump from a nearby oven. The tile is of Roman date and radiocarbon analysis of the charcoal gave a date range of 130 and 323 AD. The ditch and the tile and charcoal within the fill may indicate the site of Roman settlement in the vicinity (S1).
