Description

The remains of several ditches were revealed in 1957 by ploughing in this area at Grange Wold Farm, Riby. A large hoard of Roman coins had a few years earlier been found in this same location. Two trial trenches excavated by D.F. Petch in this area yielded a fair amount of 2nd century Romano-British pottery from the features, and it was thought that the ditches had probably delineated former Roman fields. {1}{2}{3}
