Abstract:		 The earliest structure was part of a mid-1st century Roman fort represented by a north-south Punic ditch to the south-west of the larger fort explored in the 1970s. There is a suggestion from the artefactual evidence that the army unit was cavalry. Most of the activity across the whole site was 2nd century in date and in the nature of civilian settlement. Possibly sitting within an enclosure, there were five earth-fast buildings, in at least three plots, facing onto Watling Street to the south (though neither the road nor the building frontages were exposed). Up to eight fired clay ovens were also excavated, three of which appear to have sat within one of the building, perhaps indicating commercial activity, such as a bakery, taking advantage of its roadside position. Overall the site produced a large number of coins, metallic small finds, and pottery artefacts were associated with this main occupation phase, some of the artefacts being of particular interest as very unusual items. Environmental evidence revealed a generally low level of charred cereal crop waste, suggesting that crop processing was not a significant activity here. During the 3rd century a large east-west V-shaped ditch was dug across the rear of the settlement area on a new alignment, parallel (it is presumed) to Watling Street (modern A5). There is little sign that the settlement went much beyond the mid-3rd century.
