Full Description
Large Rom scatter & cropmarks.
1949: Rom `domestic rubbish' & strong suggestion of minor building marked by Gordon Fowler on 6 inch map (S1)(R1).
1951: Rom scatter including building material on surface. Report of 32 coins and `stone beads' found in same field in 1932 (S1)(S2)(R2). For rectilinear enclosures & other cropmarks, see Un.
1951-1979: Various finds reported (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) and excavation circa 1970 in N field (which he regards as main building area) located layer of burnt clay intact with associated charcoal beam (?) at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) (S3). Also iron anvil from (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s).
1979: Fieldwalking survey by J Plouviez. Details in file (S3).
1979-1987: Series of finds reported by farmer, Mr Smith, and by metal detector users (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) (S4-S8) including iron fetter & chain (S9). Finds from this site are predominantly C3 & C4. They are comparatively low status, especially compared to BRD 007/008 to the E, although cropmarks suggest these sites (& probably BRD 039) related. They are certainly contemporary.
1991: Further metal detected finds (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) (S10).
Note further Rom sites N of river in Norfolk.
Also Mes, IA, Sax & Un.
