Note: |
The findings of the archaeological works did not support the presence of a Roman villa on the Site or for that matter a significant presence in the Roman period, with evidence limited to pastoral activity, possibly small-scale industry and some burial practice (indicated by one cremation) between the late Iron Age and early Romano-British periods. Overall, the pottery, daub, CBM and animal bone assemblages are indicative of a nearby settlement of a domestic nature concentrated within the Late Iron Age to Early Romano-British periods and extending into the Romano-British period.
