SP 535795. Work continues in advance of gravel digging on this site where skeletons, urns and coins have been turning up since 1930. It is now recognised as a timber-built settlement of 1st to 4th centuries which extends for at least 685 yards along Watling Street. Of unknown relation to this settlement is a ditch, dug and refilled in late 4th century, which encloses the road and its borders. Half a mile away a find of a military saucepan may indicate a fort site, but the present settlement - rubbish pits, cobbled surfaces, ditches, hearths and a few postholes - is entirely civilian in character. At least thirty burials, probably coffined, could not be properly investigated, but one was of an adolescent girl who had been hanged and dismembered. Several stone-lined wells, all minus their upper portions, yielded wood, leather and other remains, plus fragments of a milestone of Constantine (301-37). Pottery (16 pp of illustrations), mortaria and samian stamps and a lead pig are among the finds catalogued. |
