| Abstract: |
Two Roman features were discovered, both of late 1st to 2nd century date; a substantial ditch, which was probably part of a Roman field system, and a pit. Pottery from these features included both locally manufactured items and imports, notably Central Gaulish samian. One piece of samian had a potter's stamp; noteworthy as this particular potter's mark was rarely found. This field system may have been the same as that examined to the north-east at Nalgo Lodge. Also found was a small gully, likely to have been medieval, and four other features that remained undated. One of these, a pit, contained a dump of oyster shell and may also have been medieval. Other finds from the site included fired clay, worked and burnt flint, and, more interestingly, a small fragment of quernstone and two pieces of tegula, which may have hinted at occupation in the vicinity.
